• Q: How to replace the heater core in a hatchback on 2009 Chevrolet Aveo?

  A: The replacement of a hatchback Heater Core starts with raising the hood followed by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable while following battery disconnect warnings. Start by uninstalling the instrument panel assembly and afterward remove the heater/air distribution case. Detach the linkage screw from the lower Heater Core cover and its connected lever before recording the positioning of all levers for reassembly procedures. Wear caution when handling the case as its linkage levers are prone to damage followed by a procedure to remove the screws of the Heater Core cover and separate the lower cover incrementally from the assembly with sealant retention. First detach the bracket clamp on the Heater Core lines to remove the retaining screw on the case and then separate the Heater Core body from the case by removing the spring clamp. Install the new Heater Core in the case then fasten Heater Core lines through the retaining bracket clamp before securing with the screw. The Heater Core body installation requires both the retaining spring clamp and re-application of sealant on the Heater Core cover mounting channel flange followed by installation of the cover and its retaining screws. Use the screw to fasten the linkage lever to the cover post before checking the function of the actuating levers that control the heater/air distribution case doors. Reinstall first the heating ventilating and distribution case followed by the panel assembly before completing with cooling system fluid addition and the reconnection of the negative battery terminal.
