Detailed Description

Spectra Premium HVAC heater cores are manufactured with engineering and quality control processes aimed at matching original equipment performance. This heater core is used in the HVAC system to transfer heat into the passenger compartment, making it a practical replacement when the factory core is leaking, restricted, or no longer delivering adequate heat. It fits 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2015 Hyundai ix35, and 2011-2015 Kia Sportage, with coverage that includes the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage platforms commonly searched by owners needing a heater core replacement. The Spectra 98135 is also referenced by part number 98135 in aftermarket and catalog searches.

What It Helps Fix

  • Weak or uneven cabin heat
  • Coolant odor inside the vehicle
  • Fogging caused by heater core leakage
  • Loss of heater performance from internal blockage
  • HVAC system issues tied to a failing heater core

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle year and model before installation. Heater core replacement often requires access through the HVAC case, so compare the original unit and hose connections before removal. Flush the cooling system if contamination or debris contributed to the failure, and refill the system with the correct coolant after installation.

Spectra Premium states that its HVAC heater cores are produced with engineering, manufacturing technology, and quality control intended to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment they replace.
