60779451 Heater Core for FIAT / ALFA ROMEO 156

60779451 FIAT / ALFA ROMEO 156 Interior Heater Core

OE 60779451 identifies an aluminum cabin heat exchanger associated with FIAT/ALFA ROMEO applications, including the ALFA ROMEO 156 heater-matrix family. The product record also includes 60779298, 52466960, 1618134, 1618312, 93180006 and 9117117 as comparison numbers gathered from the source specification.

This heater core differs from an engine radiator: it sits within the dashboard HVAC module and uses engine coolant to warm incoming cabin air. Its relatively small size makes connection geometry, case sealing and exact core thickness especially important during replacement.

Product Technical Specifications

Why Precise Heater-Core Matching Matters

Dashboard labour can exceed the cost of the component, so even a small mismatch can be expensive. Compare the replacement with the removed matrix before installation, paying attention to end-tank shape, tube locations, retaining points and foam-seal contact areas.

Pre-Order Comparison Checklist

• Use 60779451 as the primary search and purchasing reference.
• Check whether 60779298 or another listed number appears on the original unit.
• Confirm the VIN, model year, engine, HVAC system and steering position.
• Measure the heat-exchange core and total assembly independently.
• Compare inlet/outlet spacing, pipe orientation and any supplied valve or seal components.

Cabin-Heating Performance

When hot coolant flows through the matrix, blower air absorbs heat from the fin-and-tube surface. Internal deposits can reduce heat output, while pinholes or damaged joints may release coolant into the HVAC housing. Proper diagnosis should include coolant level, thermostat operation, air locks and blend-door movement.

Handling, Inspection and Packing

The fine aluminum surface can be damaged by pressure or impact. Inspection can cover visible fin condition, end plates, pipe seats, mounting geometry and general cleanliness. Export cartons should protect both the core and any separate tubes, seals or valve parts shown with the supplied configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 60779451 the same as 60779298?

They are listed as related OE references in several heater-core catalogues. Final interchangeability must be confirmed with the original component and vehicle data.

Which vehicle is commonly associated with this heater matrix?

Catalogue references frequently connect this core family with ALFA ROMEO 156 applications, but production and HVAC variations still require verification.

What measurements should a buyer provide?

Provide core height, width and depth together with total assembly dimensions and clear photographs of all coolant connections.

Should the cooling circuit be flushed during replacement?

Flushing is advisable when the coolant is contaminated or the old matrix is restricted. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedure and bleed the system completely.

Can this product be packed under a customer’s brand?

Private-label feasibility depends on order volume, artwork, labeling requirements and the agreed production schedule.
