reverendzed Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Hi guys - removed the heater core today and repaired and then did a stupid thing! I put it under pressure to check for leaks and obviously had to much pressure and basically stuffed it completely! So, I'm looking to see if anyone has a spare? Thanks Rev Quote

Administrators gav240z Posted June 26, 2015 Administrators Posted June 26, 2015 I'm with Lurcho's - what the? How did you over-pressurise it? Quote
reverendzed Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 I attached a compressor fitting and blocked the other end and even though it was low pressure it immediately presented a large crack along the top and bottom - it may have simply evidenced was was already a potential problem? Or I just completely F#$%ed it up? Quote
C.A.R. Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Just get it re-soldered at a radiator shop, Dave... Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted June 26, 2015 Administrators Posted June 26, 2015 It sounds like something that would have happened anyway... The 240z heater core is made of brass/copper or metal (not sure if it's brass/copper) but same as radiator I believe (not plastic like a lot of modern stuff would be) and so I can't imagine high pressure (~ 12 psi - 14psi or 1 bar?) being an issue? But that's my non-technical opinion.... Quote
phillay Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 show me a pic of what it looks like. I just took all the heater and fan gear off my 240z. it's just in the spares parts box not used Quote
reverendzed Posted June 26, 2015 Author Posted June 26, 2015 It's the Heater core (looks like a mini radiator) encased within the main heater unit. Quote
oldmates260z Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 An old fashion radiator shop will fix that it a second. Quote
phillay Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Yep i got one of those. I live out in the western 'burbs though. Pm me Quote
