    Default Can I use this Heater Core?

    The part number listed doesn't match Real OEM or the online part sellers i checked. Can anyone with a 540 who's done their Heater Core say weather this part will fit?

    maybe thats a bad number becaus I cant find it listed anywhere. Thats one hell of a deal, buy it anyway and if it dont fit re-list it with the correct number.

    The Behr # will not correspond with BM #s. It looks the part and the price is right so far. There are parts guys here who might see your post and advise.

    ditto....but those tubes...I know they bend and they need to bend perfectly to fit, but I couldn't tell you if they look exactly like what I put in my car.

    I thought you did your core back around christmas though.

    No, that's when i first noticed the coolant smell. I committed a mortal sin and used some sealant to survive the Winter with Heat but i'll soon be able to do the work. If the tubes my car has are aluminum i would just replace the core and of course i am aware it may merely be the O-Rings which have failed and the core and tubes may be perfectly fine.
