Re: Car heater coils and aviability

Hey Tony we definitely need to work this one through.

I still need to work out warranty and corrosion resistance. They said they can make up an aluminium core or a copper/brass core. I'm also not sure which will last longer.

If anyone knows a fair bit about galvanic corrosion let us know. If the PWR radiator is made of Aluminium, should the Heater also be made of Aluminium?

The specialist tells me that copper/brass will be the best quality but I was under the impression that Alumium (not an Alumium Alloy) was far better against dissimilar metal corrosion.


Will be finished and sorted before the 3rd of July


ps. For some reason my temp gauge didn't rise when the heater blew (CTS and gauge temp sensor are about a year old) BUT I did get it very early and bypassed and the car runs no dramas for over a month now

Jordan.
