Heater Core - Description

DESCRIPTION





The heater core (1) is mounted into the left side of the air distribution housing, which is located behind the instrument panel. The heater core is a heat exchanger made of rows of tubes with fins. The heater core is positioned within the air distribution housing so that only the selected amount of air entering the housing passes through the heater core, before being distributed through the heating and A/C system ducts and outlets. One end of the heater core has a tank (2) that includes fittings for the heater core tubes (3).

The heater core tubes are not serviced separately from the heater core. The HVAC housing must be removed from the vehicle to service the heater core.
