1) Drain engine coolant. 2) Remove all cowling under the centre of the dash for access to the matrix.3) Remove two water pipes from matrix.4) Disconnect heater matrix valve cable.5) Remove matrix being careful not to spill water over the ECU.
Reverse instructions for refit.

SOURCE: How do I replace a serpentine belt for a 2001 nissan sentra.

Hi gj,

It's easy and you won't need a prybar.

  • Get a 14mm or 9/16" socket and a long handled ratchet or breaker bar.
  • For putting the belt on: Get the belt around all the pulleys except the A/C compressor or Alternator.
  • The tensioner pulley is on a spring loaded arm. Get your socket on the center nut of this pulley.
  • Slowly pull the ratchet toward the center of the engine. The pulley will pivot on the arm allowing you to get the belt on the final pulley.
  • Slowly release the tension.
  • You're done

SOURCE: Where is the blower resistor on a 2001 Nissan Sentra?

Its actually not that bad to change. If you open the glove box and remove the screws then the screws along the bottom of the glove box at the bottom of the dash the box will slide out. Remember to disconnect the light if it has one. Now you will be able to see the underside of the dash. You can see a large black box that has wires and vacuum lines all over. You need to locate a small flat plate with two screws and a plug in the middle. Disconnect the plug and remove the screws. The resistor will come straight out. The back side will look like small coiled up springs of different sizes. Install in reverse.Hope this helps. Good luck. Please re-post with updates. Thanks cj2176.

I need to take the heater core out of my 2001 nissan quest .Where do I start?

what makes you think it needs replacing? The only reason is if it is leaking. If water flow is minimal, it can be descaled and back flushed with a hose. If there is no flow, it is likely to be the heater valve not opening. The Heater core and the AC core are separate.

Strange coolant leak from 09 Nissan Sentra.

It could be leaking from the heater core, under the carpet an down the side of the car??? Definately a weird one, i would suggest a cooling system pressure test, this will help pinpoint the location easier.

Heater blowing cold air

My 05 sentra with 79k miles heat will warm up and then get cold after a mile of driving, we have tried to get the air pocket out, the mechanic stated he thought it could be a blown head gasket, another mechanic said it was a bad heater core. Any advice would be appreciated.
