Miata Heater Core Bypass

► Buy me a coffee if I helped you with this video! www.buymeacoff...
On this episode of the Miata build we will be bypassing the heater core. One of the reasons I stopped driving my Miata was because the heater core was leaking causing coolant to overflow into the interior. This is a major issue since the car would not hold coolant. This is a very common issue on Miata's that happens with age.
Removing the heater core is a major task that requires pulling apart the entire dash. As a temporary solution I’ve decided to bypass the heater core completely.
The install only required basic tools and took about 30 mins to complete. I hope this video gives you the confidence to do it yourself too!

i recently bought an nb and the hearter core pipes were just exposed and i was so confused what they did and why there were exposed. i was also confused why i had no heat and why it kept fogging up in the cabin. this vid just answered all my questions. whatta beast

Glad this video helped you figure that out. I think the heater core may have been leaking on yours to the previous owner probably bypassed it

Did you do this with the coolant reroute installed?

[@wils_builds]

Yes this was with a coolant re route. It can also be done without a coolant re route as well.

You didn't need to buy that hose you use the hose you already have just re direct it. How do I know? Already did it
