Four Seasons HVAC Heater Core P/N:98538
Get warm air flowing through the vents again with the Four Seasons Heater Core 92185, an aluminum heater core that passes hot engine coolant through its passages so air from the blower picks up heat for the cabin and the defroster. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2005-2011 Volkswagen Jetta, 2015-2017 Volkswagen Passat and 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
Four Seasons engineers and tests its products and draws on over 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
If a leaking or clogged heater core is behind weak cabin heat, a sweet coolant smell inside the car, or a film fogging the windshield, replacing it with 92185 addresses that failed component. Diagnose the cause first, because weak heat can also come from a low coolant level, a thermostat fault or a blend-door problem. If you are shopping for a 2015-2017 Volkswagen Passat heater core or one for a 2005-2011 Volkswagen Jetta or 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles and engine details.
