heater core maybe? need help asap please
Wednesday, August 30, 2006 7:26 PM
K so weird problem,
the car overheats, run out of water (coolant) in about 5 mins of driving,
fills the car with stean when i turn it off after hearing a few seconds of water boiling coming from the vents,
water pours out when stopped from behind the passenger front wheel right where the passengers feet are
I have a donor car with all good parts just the body is wrecked, im wondering what parts i would need to fix this,
im thinking heater core, can anyone confirm this? thank you very much

Yeah if there's water and anti-freeze coming in the car your best bet its the heater core or one of the two hoses I'm a assuming you know how to get at it and remove it? if not grab a haynes manual

Both my cavs have done this. Can't you smell the antifreeze? I did. freaggin pissed me off. Those things aren't easy to get to and the hoses are hard to get to also damn FWD car. I just bypassed the core. Need to get it replaced by winter tho lol.
