Volkswagen Heater Core

During summer days we really take the time to make sure that the most important thing is well take care of - the air conditioning system. We tend to forget the other part of the cooling system during these days because we really do not use it. Come winter though it's another story. We suddenly remember the warmth that the heating system gives us.

 

The heater core is actually a component of the engines cooling system. It is a small radiator that aids the primary radiator in cooling the coolant. It can be found underneath the right side of your vehicles dashboard, most often covered by a heater box. The primary function of the heater core is to supply heat to the passenger compartment air stream. But this is just an outcome of the heater core doing his function in cooling the coolant. What happens is that with the aid of the fan, some of the heat absorbed by the coolant is transferred to the air going to the heater core and the partially cooled coolant goes back to the pump. Essentially, the radiator in cooling the engine while keeping the passenger compartment warm during winter.

 

Faulty heater core will greatly affect the cooling system process, it mighty not also give the warmth needed by the passengers.
