Heater Box Assembly

#1 Post by Flyfisherman »

Guy's

Does anybody have any photograph's of the internal workings of a heater box assembly for a sprint. Mine has decided to start rattling and I'm wondering what is rattling before I remove it from the car and strip it down.

Cheers
Paul.

Hopefully you'll find the source without having to remove the heater assembly.
I would first check the lower flap, this can be done from the passenger side footwell.

Anyhow I have a spare heater assembly which I can photograph tomorrow (if nobody has supplied any photos by then).

I have tried to look inside, very limited in there - more of a touchy feely thing with your fingers and I think due to deterioration of the sealing foam on the air deflection plate, the plates are trembling and touching the heater box internal metal work. Its a strip down and renew the foam seals.
