Rating: 4.7 out of 5

“The guys called in advance plus when outside. The car they were in was very shabby but the guy I spoke to seemed knowledgable. They took my car Ford Fiesta (Juggernowt) away and were very open as to the return would depend on finding the part needed. Brought her back the same day after calling in advance. Not only had they replaced the heater matrix as requested but also a couple of lamps. They also arranged to have Juggernowt cleaned inside & out which was £20 cash but fair enough. It is the cleanest she has been in years!
Only issue was that he told me she was mis-firing & the engine management light was on when returned. It now means I need to check the plugs & leads - would have been nice if they could have told me that when they called prior to return as I now can't find my plug spanner. But lovely chaps.“

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!
