Hot engine coolant flows through the core behind the dashboard, and the blower fan pushes air across it to warm the cabin and clear misted windows. A blocked or leaking heater core typically causes weak or no heat, a sweet coolant smell inside the car, fogged glass or damp carpets on the passenger side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVehicle compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listing shows 100 fitment entries for Audi models, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A4 (8K2, B8) 2007–2015: 1.8 TFSI, 2.0 TFSI, 2.0 TDI, 3.0 TFSI, 3.2 FSI quattro and S4 quattro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A4 Avant and A4 Allroad (8KH, B8) 2.0 TFSI quattro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi A5 (8T3), A5 Sportback (8TA) and A5 Convertible (8F7) 2007–2017, including S5 and RS5 quattro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudi Q5 (8RB) from 2008: 2.0 TFSI, 3.0 TFSI, 3.0 TDI, 3.2 FSI quattro and SQ5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe part listing also refers to Volkswagen and Skoda; please check those applications separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement heater core for restoring cabin heating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReferenced to 5QD819031C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps clear windscreen fogging in cold and wet New Zealand conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand-new aftermarket replacement unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeater core \/ heater matrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReference number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5QD819031C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. packed dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 x 30 x 12 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApprox. packed weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.0 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeater core replacement is a substantial job on most of these models, often requiring partial dashboard or climate housing removal.
