MAN 34779036095 Heater Core

Description

The MAN 34779036095 is a Heater Core, a critical component of a vehicle's heating system. It's responsible for transferring heat from the engine coolant to the vehicle's cabin, providing warmth for passengers. This heater core is designed for use in heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring reliable heating performance even in cold weather conditions. Its robust construction and efficient heat transfer capabilities contribute to a comfortable and safe driving experience. The dimensions of this heater core are 100 x 175 x 1300 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This thing is basically a small radiator, but instead of cooling engine coolant, it heats the air that comes into your cabin. Hot coolant from your engine circulates through it, and a fan blows air across the fins, giving you warm air for heat. It's a heat exchanger, taking the warmth from the engine and putting it where you need it. It’s a key part of your vehicle’s HVAC system—that’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. The heater core specifically handles the “heating” part. Coolant flows from the engine, through the heater core, and then back to the engine. The air from your blower motor passes over the core, and that’s what warms up your car when it's cold outside.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if it fails, you’ll quickly realize how important it is. You’ll notice if you suddenly have no heat, or only cool air blowing, even when the engine is warmed up. Sometimes, a failing heater core can leak coolant into the passenger compartment, which you’ll smell – it has a sweet, almost sickly smell. That’s a serious issue, and you'll definitely know it. It’s not just comfort, though. No heat in winter can cause defogging problems, impacting visibility. It acts like a shield against condensation on your windshield. A replacement heater core isn’t super fun to install—it often means taking a good chunk of the dashboard apart—but it's something you want to get fixed sooner rather than later.
