Heater Core for Subaru Outback: Magnesium Alloy
This heater core for the Subaru Outback is specified around magnesium alloy, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is premature wear on the first batch, or packing that arrived crushed at the port. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.

Fitment notes
Confirm the fitment against the VIN or the frame number before ordering; two model years often share a name and not a part.
Where it is used
The specification above is the one most often ordered for ride-hailing fleets. Related applications include long-distance touring, wet weather riding, urban courier work, night riding, farm use.
Quality and packing
- In-line inspection with AQL 2.5 sampling on every lot.
- Dimensional report issued against the approved drawing.
- Carton marking and barcode to your specification.
- Golden sample retained at the factory as the reorder reference.
Questions buyers ask
Can you match an existing sample?
Send a sample and we will reverse-engineer the specification, then produce a counter sample for approval before any bulk starts.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 200 pieces per line.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. REACH documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
