Product Description
The STARK Heater matrix (SKHE-0880023) is an original-equipment-quality interior heat exchanger manufactured by STARK. Positioned deep inside the dashboard climate control unit housing, its primary function is to warm the passenger cabin. Hot engine coolant is routed directly through its internal tubes; as the blower motor forces cold air across the aluminum fins, heat is transferred into the air stream to defrost the windshield and heat the vehicle interior.
