Built for a drop-in fit, the Agility Auto Parts front Heater Core, part number 9010500, is the heat exchanger that carries hot engine coolant through its tubes so the blower can push warmed air through the vents and defroster. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2018-2024 Chevrolet Equinox, 2013-2016 Chevrolet Malibu and 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Signs the heater core may need replacing include little or no heat from the vents, a sweet coolant smell inside the cabin, a fogged windshield, damp carpet or unexplained coolant loss. Low coolant, a stuck thermostat or a blend door fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the core. If a leaking or clogged heater core is the cause, this unit replaces it.
