I think my Heater Core is going out! I smell Coolant inside the car and the Windshield fogs up whenever I start the car.

I think my Heater Core is going out! I smell Coolant inside the car and the Windshield fogs up whenever I start the car.

The same thing happened to my 85. I did the replacement my self, and had to nearly tear the entire passenger dash apart. After I was done, I kind of wished I'd just driven into Chevy.

Obviously, if you're in an area that has good weather, you can just put a little bi-pass hose for a little while, until long range plans can be made. Good luck.

Yep, that sounds like the heater core because that's exactly what happened to me and my 1985. I did take mine into the dealer and had them do it. It was expensive. I do remember reading that they changed the location in the early 90's to make it accessible (sp?) from under the hood instead of under the dash. I think you may have an easier time with it than us older C4 models did. Good luck!

Burn the car down and collect the insurance for a new heater core *cough* car.
