Mercury Capri Heater Core
The Heater Core in Mercury Capri automobiles is used to warm the interior of the car and uses waste heat from the engine. Looking somewhat like a smaller radiator, it is cooled by a mix of water and antifreeze that flows close to the engine and a metal part of the core transfers heat to the air going into the cabin. Apart from aluminum and brass used in making heater cores, there are some heaters with the core having valves or doors for efficient temperature control. The heater core in air-conditioned vehicles also helps in dehumidification and sometimes the engine cooling system also. However, simplest problems as clogging and leakages turn into expensive problems often implying the necessity of intricate works on the dashboard.
We provide a wide range of Mercury Capri Heater Core at the best prices possible. If you need Mercury Capri Heater Core, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
Mercury Capri Heater Core Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How can you replace the heater core without air conditioning on 1979 through 1986 Mercury Capri?A: Without air conditioning, you can remove the heater core by partially draining the cooling system and loosening the clamps on the heater hoses. Twist and separate the hoses from the heater core tubes, and plug or cap the tubes to prevent coolant spills. Place a plastic sheet on the vehicle floor for protection. Remove the glovebox liner and instrument panel-to-cowl brace. Set the temperature lever to Warm and remove the heater core cover through the glovebox opening. Loosen the three stud nuts in the engine compartment to detach the heater core from the heater case. Pull the heater core through the glovebox opening and position it with the tubes on top. Slide it back into the heater case and secure the heater core cover. Tighten the stud nuts, reinstall the instrument panel-to-cowl brace, and replace the glovebox liner. Uncap or unplug the heater core tubes and reconnect the hoses. Finally, fill the cooling system, check for leaks, and test the heater.
- Q: How does the heater in a Mercury Capri work?A: The heater circulates engine coolant through a small radiator (heater core) in the passenger compartment. Air is drawn in through an opening in the cowl, then blown through the heater core by the Blower Motor to pick up heat. The heated air is blended with varying amounts of unheated air to regulate its temperature. The heated air is then blown into the passenger compartment. Various doors in the heater control the flow of air to the floor, instrument panel, and defroster outlets.
