2008 Ford Focus Heater Core Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the heater core on 2008 Ford Focus?

  A: The service of the heater core requires draining all engine coolant from the system. Open the glove compartment by first removing its three retaining screws followed by taping out the compartment while ensuring to tighten it at 10 Nm (89 lb-in) when installing it back. You should use a utility knife to carefully cut along the rib of the heater core tube cover before detaching the climate control wire harness connector. Disassemble the heater core tube cover by removing its two retaining screws before separating the cut portion. A drain pan should receive residual coolant while removing two connection clips to disconnect and remove the tubes from the heater core after which discard the O-ring seals. You must start by taking away the heater core access door followed by maneuvering the heater core for mounting the blower motor housing before its removal. Install the new O-rings correctly after which position the heater core tubes fully into their seats before clipping the connections together. Waste a piece of suitable black duct-type tape to cover the cut on the heater core tube cover before filling the engine coolant up to the proper level.
