Heater core refit

[holdenadam]

Hi all,

Had the dash off and removed the blower motor housing to replace it.
When i eventually got the 2 halves apart lots of bits fell out.

These are now all back in however there is a metal piece ( the length of the heater core ) and i am not sure if it goes into the housing before the heater core is fitted or after.

Pretty sure it goes in before ( ie: at the front of the housing )

Just want to be 100% before i refit it all.

Thanks for reading this

The deflector plate goes into the housing with the matrix placed on top of it. Then replace the top of the casing.

Doing the same job here. What are those plastic flaps for. Theyre about 5" wide ? Please

Nightmare..
Took ages to find out where they are from.

The only place i can see ( and they fit ) are from either side of the fan at the front of the unit behind the 2 massive holes.
They hang down from the 2 lugs at each end of the flap.
They snap into the top of housing.

Send me your number and i can send a pic

Put the whole lot back together and now the 2 flaps inside are rattling around. Aargh

Also the heating is now non existent and the van is overheating.

Looks like it will need bleeding.
