They changed the unit 5 times and the hoses once. I do not trust the jeep anymore. The passenger side is filled with coolant. The dealership did not even change the carpet and will not! They give it a bad detail and give back to me. It is stained purple. Does anyone know where I can get a carpert? Also is there a fix to this problem? The Jeep is at the dealership getting a new heater core in it and it should be done tommorow.

One of the most common problems that can happen to a vehicle is a heater core leak. If your Jeep Grand Cherokee has a leaking heater core, it is not a breakdown risk. Although, it is necessary to make sure that the lost coolant is replaced. It can cause damage to the vehicle in other ways, and should be addressed as soon as possible. A heater core is a small radiator that runs hot coolant to the inside of your Grand Cherokee. It functions exactly the same way the radiator does. There is a line of hot coolant coming from the engine, and there is a return line. The blower motor runs air over the heater core and the cabin warms up.

Thanks guys! Also is there a fix to this problem? I used a lisle funnel to get rid of the air in the system. This doesn't sound like a heater core issue, maybe there is something else causing the heater core to leak, perhaps too much pressure on the inlet side or a restriction on the outlet.

The reality is, you shouldn't have lost a lot of coolant undoing the heater core hoses and you will likely be ok. Quick Reply: Heater Core 05 Grand cherokee Must have been a very small leak. I would never pull the dash on one of these to do the heater core though I have back in the day. Recommended Communities. Send a private message to Bustedback. Maybe it's leaky coolant lines instead of the heater core itself. I'd bet there is something plugged in the cooling system, or maybe when they installed the first replacement heater core they kinked a line somewhere.

Carefully pull the heater core out of the HVAC air distribution housing. Well done! Zero coolant smell now. Disconnect the heater core tubes from the heater core and remove and discard the O-ring seals. It should just pop off. Regarding bleeding the engine, my hemi has a bleeder screw that I thought would be hard to get to, but wasn't as complicated as I thought. Thanks for the help! Best is prevention, ie changing the coolant before electrolysis ever starts. The heatercore is going to hit, maybe degrees at the most. Recommended Communities. After about an hour of doing all that.
