My daughter has an antifreeze leak she took it to the shop and was told she needed a new heater core. The shop called the extended warranty company and was told they do not cover it if though they do cover the radiator and it's parts.

My question is is the heater core not part of the radiator?

I want to question the warranty company, but was try to get this answer.

Thanks for your help

Hi there,

Technically the heater cor is not part of the radiator cooling system. I personally tell my customers to avoid these after market policies, as they are so vague in there descriptions, it is easy for them to get out of making a payment.
