spazomatic Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Looking through Rockauto, they carry a "Pro" brand heater core (#9010172). Is it any good? Anybody have any problems with one? If you have replaced your heater core, where did you get it? Thanks y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It's the only one listed so I'm assuming it's the same I got for my Brat. I've had it in for a couple years with no problems. Keeping me toasty warm! The inlet/outlet pipes were just a teensie bit off but everything hooked up fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 I guess i'll get it, as it seems to be the only one available. Local parts houses around here dont even list it as available. I was debating throwin the old one back in (its all taken apart for rodent related cleaning, not cuz of a failure) since its built like a tank with no corrosion evident. Thanks! I still find it funny that anecdotal evidence from people i have never met, makes me feel better about a purchase like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazomatic Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Hey Jonas, What year is your brat? Just curious cuz.... Rockauto sent me the wrong one! It looks to be fine quality, but the pipes attached to the core are way, way too long, pointed in the wrong direction, and the core isnt nearly as thick as the stock one. So to sum up, Pro heater cores appear to be good, but rockauto sucks balls and im never ordering from them again. Ive used them 5 times....and only twice did i get what i actually wanted.

Kyle691 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Wish i saw this post sooner. I did the same thing you did. The heater core didn't work from rock auto. After i sent some pictures they accepted it and gave me my money back but i was out on the shipping charges. I have bought to from the local part store (o'reilly's) and they have lined up and worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their counter monkeys dont know sh1t from shinola. (The one local to me anyways) Edited October 23, 2014 by spazomatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyale1993 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Try www.partsgeek.com I've ordered parts from there a couple times for my loyale and had good luck. They have good prices too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spazomatic Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Partsgeek it is. Part seems to fit ok. The core o'reilly sells DOES NOT FIT. At least, the one i got did not. The inlet and outlet pipes do not point in the right direction. Close, but not quite. And if youve ever had one of these out, you know why they needed to be pointed in exactly the right direction.
