§ About

What to Know About Used Heater Core/Element

Sweetness in the air inside the car, wet or damp carpet on the passenger side, a constantly dropping coolant level, windows that fog even with the defroster running, and a heater blowing lukewarm instead of hot are all heater core failure signs. Delaying this repair usually leads to more damage. The heater core is a small radiator-like unit inside the dashboard that uses hot engine coolant to warm the air blown into the cabin. When it leaks or clogs, you lose heat and typically end up with wet carpet and a fogged windshield. Since heater core replacement is labor-intensive regardless of which core you use, a quality used OEM core is often the best value for this repair. Redline stocks 4,661 used heater core listings from 19 sellers across 48 makes including Toyota, Ford, GMC, Nissan, Chevrolet. Filter by year, make, and model on Redline to find the right core for your vehicle. Save on the part before you pay the labor.
