“Rhys did a good job. All in all everything was carried out with a good standard. I appreciated the explanation to some of the checks he also carried out to the car, which highlighted some concerns which will need to looked into a bit more potentiality.

the appointment was booked from 8am-10am, Rhys arrived around 9 i would say. To be fair its quite early in the morning, so it didn't bother me as I had sated my availability to be free all day.

However when he arrived, the work was carried in a good manor and accurately (please note this review is only a day after the work had been carried out & could be subset to change deepening on time).“

What does a Heater Core do?

The heater core is the component within the heating system that actually warms up the air that is circulated through the car. Warm coolant from the engine's cooling system is channeled through the core which heats up the air that is pushed through it by the heater fan. In turn, the air flows out of the air vents and into the cabin, providing warmth for the car's passengers.

How do you know there is something wrong with a Heater Core?

When the heater/blower does not work at all (i.e. when there is no air coming from the air vents).
When the air coming from the air vents is not as warm as usual.
When there is coolant leaking around components of heating system in the engine bay.

When should you consider a Heater Core replacement?

Over time, the heater core's effectivity can suffer significantly from contaminated coolant passing through the component. Sometimes the quality of the coolant can deteriorate to such an extent that debris in the coolant can clog up the heater core.

Alternatively, it might be that the heater core starts to leak due to corrosion or wear. In severe cases this means that the coolant will not be able to flow through the core at all, in other cases it might mean that the amount of coolant flowing through the core is inadequate. It is important that any issues are addressed as quickly as possible to prevent further damage or inconvenience.

Should you experience problems with the heater core, then it is advisable to have the unit inspected and, if necessary, have it replaced. Remember, it should always be serviced as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.

What happens during a Heater Core replacement?

Mechanic will read the ECU for possible fault codes related to the cooling system.
Mechanic will inspect the cooling system and the heater core as well as perform a pressure test of the cooling system.
If necessary, the mechanic will replace the heater core.
Mechanic will advise if any other parts need to be replaced.
Mechanic will refill the cooling system.
Mechanic will bleed the cooling system.
Mechanic will inspect the heating system once again and check if the heater's temperature is now accurate.
Mechanic will make any adjustments if necessary.

How much does a Heater Core Replacement cost?

The cost of replacing a heater core depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having a heater core replaced by ClickMechanic, by selecting your car at the top of this page!
