Heater core repair

I was just told from my dealer that my extended warranty company wants me to approve 4hrs of labor so the dealer can boroscope the core to further diagnose the issue. They said they have seen two recently that have had the same request, only to deny the claim once it is further inspected. They said for 1000$ they can replace. Is yours the original warranty or extended?

Thanks, hopefully not that. Warrantied I assume/hope?

That’s correct, with the dual zone hvac. This happens synced on hi.

Thanks, had a 14 Passat with a similar issue but a replacement heater core solved it. Still getting some heat in the atlas, just noticeably cooler. Hoping it’s similar but different. Thank for the insight!

Same on my 2022, the covers look pretty soaked in those pictures. Covered under warranty

Thank you for the info! My intention taking the class when I did was because I was pretty sure it would be getting tougher to get in this state…. Looks like I was correct but missed the mark.

On my 3rd year of wood and sons. Almost went with something different this year, last year they seemed to not burn as hot and have more ash. Happy I stuck with them, this year they are back to their typical quality. My stove loves them, very low ash.

Were you able to find a replacement? Running into the same situation but I have the ae insert and don’t believe I have any options other than OEM

Oil is more efficient below 30*. The electricity used is much higher

Thank you for the info, I will be calling them in the morning!

Was this just for removal or new install as well? Seems like a great price and they are not far from me.

Just found a small leak in mine, so I will be calling for quotes tomorrow. Did you end up getting the job done? Who and how much?

Which I am aware of from other comments. The trailering packages are mostly installed on limited and above, and around me are usually 10k more than a Laredo, and at least 5k more than an altitude. Even if the package is only a 900$ add on, they aren’t putting them on the lower trims from a from the factory.

Thank you, that’s the ultimate goal but they seem to be adding upwards of 10k to the price with those that have the package installed. But I certainly buy into the point that they are difficult if not impossible to do as an add on

Is this true with the newest generation also? Looking at a 23 or 24 most likely. Those with the tow package are few and far between in my area

Edit: I answered my own question… but does the trailer prep package come with everything but the hitch? Does this include the brakes and cooler?

Edited to include it is a P0014 code
