Heater Inspection

Heater core:

  • Leaks (before removing, check for leaks in passenger area, under carpet, on firewall cardboard, etc)
  • Flow (ensure it is not plugged). You can test similar to radiator blocked test
  • Clean out debris in exterior of core

Hoses: Check for cracks, overly soft hoses, tight clamps

Flow valve: ensure it opens & closes easily through entire range. Also check linkage for easy and complete movement (before taking apart)

Air ducts: Ensure they are clean and connected properly

Electrical: Ensure fan spins at both High & Low speed

Coolant Thermostat: Test

Core

The heater core is like a small radiator. The heater fan removes heat and blow it into the passenger compartment.

B210 is 27013-H5000, so a different part.

Heater Hoses

The heater hoses are 1/2 inch inside diameter hose. However, the original Nissan hoses were thin wall. Standard 1/2 inch hose is thick wall and will work but has to be forced through the firewall grommets.

Also, the original Nissan thin-wall hoses had a braided cover like this:

Original long heater hose is braided. Compare to the rear heater hose, which has been replaced with a plain hose.

Removal

Heater was optional. If you wish to remove the heater, how is it done?

  1. Drain engine coolant
  2. Remove heater hose from the fitting behind the cylinder head and plug this fitting
  3. Remove heater hose from the lower radiator hose tee. Plug this fitting
  4. Remove heater from inside car

You can either remove the fitting from the back of the head & put a plug in there, or get heater blank off rubbers & plug them both. You can get these from local Auto stores, it is 1/2" heater hose.

Or the simpler way: Run a new longer hose from front to back of engine.
