Todd 13 Posted October 6, 2019 Have pulled heater box out can’t find anything online that’s looks anywhere close to what I have pulled out ,most Xw-xy heater boxes online are a complete big square box mine is more off a cylinder funnel box with a short hose connecting to a letter box looking unit with a 45’ angle at one end . The heater core outlet pipe coming out through firewall has broken off and cannot find a way to remove core due to flap door hinge there doesn’t seem any way off removing flap door hinge rod with out destroying it so I can’t remove core to re core it any advice would be great. Maybe a radiator specialist have a way around this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,263 Posted October 6, 2019 i wonder if the angle was soldered on after it was inside the heater box? if so, then yes you'll need a radiator mob or skills to do it. hard to know without pics, i haven't seen one for more than 10yrs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Todd 13 Posted October 7, 2019 Hi dean ended up working it out had to stretch the heater box walls to release door hinge pin . 2 gerg and deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OLM8 83 Posted October 15, 2019 Hi all this might helpThere were two types of heater boxes for the XY.The one without the fan is commonly called a blow through heater it had a heater water core, but no fanand obviously no fan speed switch see the pic of my carIt also came with the no fan , “heater delete” factory pov pack option.

OLM8 83 Posted October 15, 2019 My car however at some stage had a really old Smiths Beehive heater with fan , fitted to the car, probably because the original heater core leaked which was very common. It works great and is toasty warm it’s still got the old bakerlite hi/low switch.

OLM8 83 Posted October 15, 2019 Maybe the only XY POV packs like mine and other early XY’s got the blow through heater from the XW? or even the XT?Most of them got the big box that you would normally think of for a xy heater.I’m no expert.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
