2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser Heater Core Parts and Q&A

• Q: How is the Heater Core Installed on 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Oil the new O-rings with engine coolant and then install them on both the heater core tubes, then fit the tubes to the heater core and clip them into place. Set the heater core into the side of the air distribution housing meant for the driver. Tighten the heater core onto the air distribution housing with two screws at 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). A seal that is dented or damaged on the flange needs to be changed. After that, mount the foam seal onto the driver side flange of the HVAC box. Secure the heater core cover to the driver side of the air and HVAC housing with three screws, tightened to 2 Nm (17 in. lbs.). If the heater core needs to be changed, it's important to flush the cooling system. The last step is to install the HVAC housing assembly.
