Pontiac Firebird Heater Core
The Pontiac Firebird Heater Core has the function of heater as it manages to supply heat to the interior part of a car through the additional heat produced from the engine. Shaped like a miniature radiator it is cooled with a water and antifreeze mix that lies near the engine allowing it to transfer heat to the cabin's air. Heater Cores generally can be of different types, made out of aluminum or brass, and are equipped with some sort of temperature controlling unit such as a valve or door. What is more, the heater core in air-conditioned Firebird models also has the function of dehumidification and engine cooling working as auxiliary radiator. But problems like clogging and leaking are inevitable, and they are expensive to deal with since they demand that the dashboard is almost dismantled to fix the problem.
Each OEM Pontiac Firebird Heater Core we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
