heater core.. wonder if they cracked the tubes to the core itself..

[Phlip]

Have you attempted to see where the coolant is coming from with the car RUNNING? What about pressure testing your cooling system? There are far too many possible causes of your problem here for effective troubleshooting to take place with the pictures you have posted.

heater core.. wonder if they cracked the tubes to the core itself..

exactly what i was thinking. or could be that the hoses aren't tight enough.

Check heater core hoses. Body should be 5/8". Engine is 3/4". Check to see if they used a correct reducer.

Also see if the clamps are tight, but not too tight or you'll crack the heater core fittings. See if they overtightened it = leak

+1 for heater core.

+1 for heater core.

x2 i agree :coolugh:

rikan and phillip - have what im saying
hm....imma say heater core but if you checked the core itself try checking the lines to...there might be a hairline crack ...when does this happen??

phillip said pressurize...but im trying to fig out how they are related thought the collant will run through core automatically??? i might be wrong but ill look into it late s-nation s13

[driftcardotnet]

well it happens more so when i run the heater. it's been cold here too.

ok well if thats the case im leaning towards the inlet line check the inlet to the heater core i thinks that the suspect hit me up if you find anything new late

hey i think its great that you drop the name of someone's domain who "has" the manuals, but when i go to grab them, the links are broken. i need the manual for the 180sx with the sr20det, and the s13 with the ka24e. those need to go on my site. and won't be removed....:fruit:<-- this sheep is soo cheesy its cool

i don't know how fast it's leaking out but I had a problem like that and I used some radiator stop leak stuff from advance auto parts and I haven't had any problems for 2 years after

[S-Nation S13]

to be honest i never use that shiet...only bc i feel like im prolonging the breaking point of the part..plus i think it causes more damage to the part temp fix to me is a no fix ....like i said inlet look for hair line crack

[Folken]

well 2 years and about 20k miles i've been fine, if driftcardotnet is as broke or lazy as I am he should give it a

Remove your glove box and A/C condenser

I had a similar problem when the plastic tube from the heater broke.

It's not my site. There are still other useful information on there. Contact the site owner if you have problems.

i need the manual for the 180sx with the sr20det, and the s13 with the ka24e.

The first one does not exist in English because no 180SX was ever sold outside of Japan with an SR20DET. The best you can hope for is to find one in Japanese, or make due with a zenki S14 SR FSM.

The second one also does not exist in PDF format. I've searched and was not able to find one. I have one in paperback, and I've asked to see if someone can scan it, but so far everybody is too lazy so we have nothing.

g6civcx - I'd love to contact the owner, but while he makes many comments about contacting he, he leaves no method to contact him.
