Detailed Description

This Universal Air heater core is part of the Heater Core Aluminum product line and is cataloged under HT2159C. For buyers searching for a 2003 Kia Sorento heater core, 2004-2006 Kia Sorento heater core, or an aluminum HVAC heater core for Kia Sorento service, this unit matches the listed vehicle application and supports heater system repair work where the original core has failed.

The HT2159C is a practical replacement choice when the heater core needs to be serviced due to leakage, restricted coolant flow, or reduced cabin heat output.

  • Cool air from the vents when heat is selected
  • Sweet coolant odor inside the cabin
  • Fogging or film on the windshield from heater core leakage
  • Reduced defrost performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year and model before installation. On heater core repairs, inspect coolant condition, hoses, clamps, and the HVAC case for contamination or residue before reassembly. Flush the cooling system if coolant contamination is present, and confirm the system is bled properly after installation.

Quality Assurance

Universal Air catalogs this part as an aluminum HVAC heater core for the specified Kia Sorento applications. Part number HT2159C should be matched to the vehicle listing before ordering or service.
