Heater Core Replacement 2013 Passat

- How to change heater core on 2013 VW Passat. The original complaint from the customer was that there was only heat coming out of the driver side vent. Cold air blowing from all other vents.
I am glad it doesn't involve removing the dashboard and messing with the wires. On a modern car like this, all sorts of things can go wrong after you mess around with the wiring. I am also glad to see someone with the same car as mine (but different color) so I know exactly what to expect rather than viewing a video for a different car and having none of it match up.
When you remove the four 6 mm bolts that hold the cover of the heater core, the top one is difficult to reach. With the ignition turned to "on," turn your thermostat to hot , not cold so that the white arm moves out of the way making the top bolt accessible.
This comment right here saved the last third of my hair from being pulled out. The other two-thirds wishes I had read this sooner. Thank you.
@@MarekBiernacinskiI was about to start breaking stuff till I read this 😅
BRO YOU SAVED ME FROM GETTING SCAMMED $1200 THANK YOU
Awesome! You can send me a check in the mail 🤣
@@pjhorn5307 where did u buy the new heater core??
Tiguan 2010 done, avoid 2 hours trying to take apart the core from the aluminum lines cut the old core instead, will save you a lot of time , I finally fix my Tiguan 2010 after 2 years without heat lol
Good video - in terms of getting to see everything that is necessary to do the job. Thanks.
bro you awesome i was going crazy on why only on the driver vent and no the other sides i tough it was the blend door also until i saw your video thank you so much i did the heater core FIX!!!!!!!! thank you
I have a jetta 2014 and I have the same problem. I'm great full for this video. I fix everything myself. I really like the tips you gave. I would of liked to have seen the the process of the coolant being drained out from the hose. Only because I don't want to guess which hose I'm going to in hook.
Sorry I didn’t show that. But there should only be two rubber hoses going into the radiator - one near the top and one near the bottom. Just disconnect the one at the bottom, make sure you have a pan to catch the antifreeze, and your good to go. If you keep the radiator cap on while you remove the hose it will help keep the antifreeze from coming out so fast and making more of a mess. Just another tip.
Man that top hose of the heater core really doesn’t reach the connector hose under the dash. Been fighting for it for hours
oh joy, i'm at the same point now. i gave up for the day before i broke something. i may re-loosen and cut top pipe and hose and hose clamps.
@@alexhatcher8812 that’s what I had to do. Most stressful 2 days of my life lol. I cut both hoses of the heater core and fought to fit a hose around them both. Used screw on hose clamps and it’s been good for a month now. Good luck bruther
Thank you! Great video!
I did this to my VW PASSAT TDI an like he said its not easy although the heater core is right down by the gas the inside not the problem its tryna reach into the engine bay to disconnect the coolant line nearly impossible i just didn't do it i wriggled the heater core out from inside i was able to after playing around wit it
If you having issues connecting the pipes back it’s probably because you not using the oem heater core
Thanks for the video, passat 2015 here it was tight as hell behind the motor. I am stuck Putting back the upper hose on the heater core, a gap left and it is leaking really slowly, any idea to help putting it back together ?
It’s just gonna be tight because of the corrosion. Just be patient with it and slowly work it on there.
Great video! Thanks. Frustrating for me in that i have the new core in but the connector pipes won't fully reach the pipes on the core, about 1/2 inch to go. Won't budge. Can I just connect the pipes with heater hose and clamps?
Yeah you can do that. I actually have another video where I changed the heater core on a Chrysler 200 and I did that very thing. Here’s the link to that video.

Dealer has cores for 35.00
It’s because u not using the oem heater core
@@leonmoparneal3892question because im about to do this job on my buddies 3.6 CC. Is the OEM core a Nissens ? Theyre usually the best from my past experience. I just dont want him to order some bogus shit
Top hose is giving me hell. Any ideas? The outside hoses aren't moving the piece attached to the core
Those line are really soft aluminum. They bend really easily. And when they are corroded they don’t come apart easily. Make sure you have the lines unbolted from the fire wall in the engine compartment. You may need someone to help you pull. One pull from the engine side and the other pull from inside the car. They don’t move much but there is just enough room to get them apart.
Got em apart. Now the top has half a cm of a gap. I can't close it
I keep seeing other videos talking about how much of a pain that screw is.
Sorry, which screw are you talking about?
@@pjhorn5307 the screw at the firewall between the flanges... Every video recommends not pull it all the way out
@@TSter504 On this vehicle it was a nut. After taking the nut off the hose assembly comes loose from the fire wall. And I needed that clearance in order to get the tubes disconnected from the heater core. It was easy mounting that hose assembly back to the fire wall. But if it had been a bolt rather than a nut I would imagine that would make it more difficult lining up that bolt hole.
Mine was definitely a pain. 6 hours spent on it total. My turbo was in the way.
Hi I've got a Passat cc and I can hear like a low whining in the car but not in the engine bay. I've read that it's due to heater core blockage and the pump struggling to push coolant through, but I am still getting heat??
That’s certainly a possibility. This is a common problem on these vehicles. If your coolant hasn’t been changed and cooling system flushed in a long time, I would try that first. But if that doesn’t change anything then you could try replacing the heater core.
@@pjhorn5307 Ive had a technician look at it and apparently in my case the low whining/ rushing noise is the fuel pump. I am in the UK and had to put supermarket diesel in which isn't the best, unfortunately I've filled it up at a cost of £1.51 per litre I'll run it till half a tank then put some premium in
That makes sense. Glad you got it figured out
My heater core is getting hot, too hot to touch. But still only blowing hot out of one vent. Do you think it is still the heater core ?
It’s possible. The heater core will still get hot even if it’s clogged.
Was this a Denso heater core? I'm struggling to remove the same one from my 2013 Golf GTD at the moment, everything I've seen online (including the Haynes manual) seems to reference the Valeo one and I can't figure out exactly how to remove the pipes from mine on the inside so I can remove it.
I thought my problem was the blend door too but the OBD11 I bought confirmed that the doors were all moving correctly... I added Forté Bio-Degreaser to the coolant and ran that through the car for 400 miles and that definitely made an improvement.
We're gonna get it out today, one way or another, so we can flush it properly - fingers crossed I don't have to replace it!
Sorry, I can’t remember now what brand the heater core was. But if what you have are two clamps like this one, it took me some time to pull the lines apart after I got the clamps off. There’s not much room in there to move the lines around to separate them. They will disconnect, ya just gotta be patient with it and keep working it apart.
@@pjhorn5307 Sawzall them off 🙂.....
Thanks bro
I have a 2014 Passat tsi my heat isn’t blowing hot and theirs this ticking noise from the top of the dash when I set the climate control to defrost, do u think it’s the heater core or actuator and if the actuator do you have to remove the core to get to the actuator ?
On this vehicle the blend door actuator is just above and forward of the heater core. On a 2014 it may be the same however there’s a good chance it could be different. You just have to get under there and look.
If there is no heat at all it sounds like the heater core is your problem so I would start by replacing that first.
Thank you so much
is it possible to do this without opening the hood?
Sorry bro I tried doing it without too. I just had to open it in the end. It was hard but at least I didn’t have to fork out labour fees on my mechanic opening the bonnet
A 2012 passat should be the same right?
Yeah, it will be pretty close to the same.
Any idea my upper hose not connecting properly
What do you mean? Can you describe the problem in a little more detail?
I could only get one of the hose disconnected from the core. The top one is giving me a fight!!
Same here! How did you get it off!?!
I don't really expect to be impressed with Volkswagen either as far as trying to repair some things go. I do like Volkswagen for attention to detail. There are little things you may not have noticed. ever opened the trunk and lifted the spare tire cover up? That handle is made to hook onto the edge of the trunk opening. I also think that it is a comfortable car too. I couldn't say that at all about a Corolla I had as a rental one time but that heap of junk is a whole other topic. I mostly hated the Corolla (with a searing passion) because it was ugly and gutless!!
I’ve got both hoses on and come to a dead stop at the o rings. 🤬
It should stop at the o rings. The o rings sandwich between each flange and the clamps go over the flanges.
Psa to everyone. My local Volkswagen dealership is selling these heater cores for $53.99 and o rings/clamps for 13.99. Oreillys was who I had to work with first and they put me back $184 but their after market does not reach the existing hoses AND the o rings are visibly different as in girth. Volkswagen heater core went in with very minimal fight. Check your local dealerships first (2013 be Passat)
@@andrewhall5264 same for autozone. the top line does not reach. i thought i did something wrong.
and (rant) what's with the $185 price from o'reilly, autozone, advanced auto? What BS. that's going back for refund. wasted 2 hours and getting new one from dealer monday.
Can
remove 4 panels to get to 2 screws... typical.
blow your nose first.
I got no heat in my garage 😂
is it possible to do this without opening the hood?
No
