Product Description

This Universal Air heater core is intended for HVAC service on select Chevrolet Cobalt, Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac G5, Saturn Ion, and Pontiac Pursuit models. The aluminum core construction supports heat exchange inside the vehicle’s climate control system, making HT2016C a practical replacement when the original heater core is leaking, restricted, or no longer delivering consistent heat. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Weak or uneven cabin heat
• Coolant odor inside the passenger compartment
• Fogging from heater core leakage
• Restricted coolant flow through the HVAC core
• Loss of heater performance in cold weather

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle year, make, and model before installation. Heater core replacement typically requires access to the HVAC case, so compare the original unit to HT2016C before reassembly. Flush the cooling system and inspect hoses, clamps, and related HVAC components during service.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air HT2016C is an aluminum HVAC heater core replacement for the listed applications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s original part before installation.
