• Q: How to Install a Heater Core on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Start by rubbing some engine coolant on new O-rings and place them on the heater core tubes before you join the tubes to the heater core and secure them with retaining clips. The heater core should be put into the driver side of the air distribution housing. Place two screws in the heater core and drive them into the air distribution housing at 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). If the foam around the flange is compressed or destroyed, it must get a new foam seal. After that, place the foam seal over the flange found on the driver side of the HVAC housing. Put the heater core cover on the driver side of both the air distribution housing and HVAC housing and attach it with three screws, tightened to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). Should you be changing the heater core, first drain and flush the cooling system. After that, put together and install the HVAC housing assembly.
