Default 996 Heater Core

Hi,

I have a 2004 Carrera. The heater core definitely needs to be replaced. Has anyone had an issue getting the right part. I have ordered the Valero OEM part and it doesn’t fit. It doesn’t even match the pictures they show. I have tried other manufacturers but no luck. Anyone experience this issue.



This is the installed heater core.

This is what gets sent to me even though the websites say it fits my car


any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Does it fit in the box? Are the outlets the same? Does the different coil configuration mean that it doesn't fit right in the box?
I've replaced dozen of Valeo cores, and I've seem plenty of variability in design and construction. If it fits, it ships.
