Porsche HVAC Heater Core Kit - Valeo/Genuine Porsche 715306KT

Very well packed to avoid any damage to the fins. It's an exact match. This kit includes a new cover and seal for the top of the core. It also includes new clamps and hoses. I discovered I needed a couple of new nuts to keep the cowl covers on because the rubber was torn on them. I also discovered that I needed a new windshield cowl. The current one has been in the sun for a while and the plastic at one end that the bolt goes through is broken, so there's nothing holding the right side down. Take a look at these other things if you want to do the job right all at once. One more thing--while I had the core out, I removed all the aged foam from the metal air diverter flap and replaced it with high-temp HVAC metal tape. I used a camera to make sure I had the tape in place correctly. Much easier than cutting any plastic just to remove the flap or gain access to it from other angles. You might need some small hands helping you. A small snake camera was extremely helpful.

I emailed them and asked them to add the foam cover to the kit and they did right away. It is now everything you need to do the job. For 996 owners, be advised that both the core and the tubes have superseded to the 997 parts. There is slightly less clearance with the updated parts between the hose and the AC line. As long as you make sure the hoses are fitted just right, you won’t have contact with the aluminum AC line, but it’s real close!
