Heater Repairs

A Heater Core is like a cars radiator but smaller and the same coolant passes through its thin tubes. These tubes may block if rust or corrosion is present in the cooling system.

A good quality coolant/rust inhibitor as well as flushing the Heater Core when coolant is changed is recommended every 2 years. Always refer to manufacturers’ recommendations.

This will maximise the life expectancy of the Heater Core and help maintain trouble free operation.

If you experience poor heating or the car heater takes a long time to start working you may have a blocked Heater Core. If however you have water appearing on the carpet or the windscreen is constantly fogging up and won’t clear you probably have a leaking Heater Core which must be repaired or replaced. This normally involves removing the whole dashboard, depending on make and model of vehicle.
