Notes:

⁽¹⁾ Vehicles equipped with the «Older Model» heat exchangers are fitted with a cabin heating system which was used and afterwards kept for the USA versions of the Porsche 356 B T-5, 356 B T-6, 356 C, and 356 SC. These vehicles were afterwards identified as having a “USA-style” cabin heating system.

For the Porsche 356 pre-A and 356 A above, the left and right heat exchangers reference 356.010451 and 356.010452 are used together with the exhaust muffler reference 356.010460.

For the Porsche 356 B et C / SC above, the left and right heat exchangers reference 356.010451 and 356.010452 are used together with the exhaust muffler reference 912.010460.

This heat exchanger collects heat from the left side exhaust and sends hot air to the left side heater valve reference 356.010500.

It is important to ensure that your heat exchangers are in good condition with no perforations or rust so as to prevent exhaust fumes from getting mixed into the warm air supply to the passenger compartment.

Quantity required per vehicle: 1

Attention: This left-side heat exchanger is not used in the Carrera versions of the Porsche 356 with the Führmann 4 cam engine.
