Heater Core Issues - Cold Snap Solutions!

By:




Does it not figure, the first time you've got a issue with your car's heater core is when you need it the most : in the middle of a hideous cold snap. Frost on the outside and frost on the inside -- giving new meaning to air conditioned pain. Cranking up the heat means billows of cold air filling your car's cabin instead of the calming and relaxing heat you should be feeling...ugh! Sounds like a job for your mechanic, but it could be something you can mend yourself. Please continue reading for more info.

Playing with the heat settings doesn't do any good and a check of the coolant, hoses, and connections exposes everything is O.K. Hence what's the problem? Quite likely your Ford heater core has died. You jump in your vehicle and head at once over to your Ford dealer to get a price on a new heater core. Within moments you are gasping for breath as the person behind the counter looks over his computerized inventory and quotes an outrageously high cost. For an instant you don't know whether to whack the guy over the head or start driving around with a movable heater you plug into your car's cigarette lighter. Quickly you dismiss either option and make a decision to take the situation into your own hands.

Fortunately a heater core isn't all that hard to change yourself. For most cars, a heater core can be reached by pulling out the dash or checking under the hood diagonally opposite to the firewall, locating the unit, pulling it out, and replacing it with a newer one. Naturally, you may pay gobs of money through your dealer's parts dept, but you have alternatives besides visiting the dealer or making a futile trip to your local junkyard : shop the web.

That is right, online auto parts wholesalers carry Jeep heater cores and heater cores for just about any make / model of auto out there. Best yet, when shopping with a wholesaler like the Heater Core Experts, you can save big money. By buying direct from the maker, a first class wholesaler will turn around and sell a heater core to you for less. A load less than what Mr. Parts Dealer would charge and without you having to pay for work costs either.

Yes, you might always forget the problem and hope that Spring comes early and stays forever , or you can sell your first born child and head over to your dealer's part department and hope they have mercy on you...they most certainly will not! Better shop on the internet for an OEM replacement heater core that meets or exceeds manufacturer specs, save big and get warm!
