- Carries hot, pressurized coolant from the engine to the heater core
- Replacement is best done by a professional or those with advanced auto experience
- Custom-fitted, custom-designed, and durability-tested for your vehicle
The Hvac Heater Hose in your Nissan allows high temperature, pressurized coolant to move to the vehicle's heater core from the engine. The rubber material used to make an Hvac Heater Hose is heat-resistant and made to last. It can withstand having hot coolant inside its tube, and can withstand gunk, debris, and drastic temperatures on its outer hose. It can also absorb vibrations caused by the engine.
Despite its durability, over time the constant exposure to high-temperature coolant can wear down the rubber material on the Hvac Heater Hose and create weak spots in the inner lining, causing it to disintegrate or break. When the inner lining cracks it can lead to a coolant leak and damage your engine cooling system. Your Hvac Heater Hose can also become frail as it ages, resulting in holes or larger breaks. Noticable signs of a heater hose that's been compromised include an overheated engine, coolant leaks, or problems with the heater core.
If you're looking to replace a compromised or worn out Hvac Heater Hose on your Nissan 370Z 2009-2020, check that you buy one that's the correct fit. An Hvac Heater Hose can vary in length depending on what kind of vehicle you drive. Getting the correct size guarantees that the hose length isn't too long, thereby getting in the way of other components, but can still reach far enough to be inserted into your vehicle's heater core.
Thinking about replacing the hose on your own? You may be able to install your heater hose if you're familiar with more technical auto repairs, or you can contact your local service shop for installation. Before starting, place a drain pan under your Nissan to keep your work area clean from any remaining coolant from the hose. Additionally, you'll want to ensure that the engine has been turned off a while. Never replace a heater hose with a hot engine.
To get started, follow these general Hvac Heater Hose replacement steps (consult your owner's manual for complete details). First, drain the coolant by unfastening the drain valve. Then, peel back the rubber seal with a sharp pick, pliers, or a screwdriver before unscrewing the hose from both ends. Screw on the new hose. Add a small amount of sealant on the new hose because a large amount can end up clogging the tube. Finally, add coolant.
One last thing to note for do-it-yourselfers: Nissan cooling systems can be difficult to get all of the air out once you've drained the coolant. It's vital to avoid having air pockets in the cooling system as it could create overheating, a noticeable waterfall noise in the back of your dashboard, or several other problems. If you're not an advanced mechanic, consider leaving the Nissan hose replacement to a professional.
