What could be causing a sweet smell inside the car while the heat is on?
The sweet smell is caused by antifreeze leaking from the heater core. As the hot air passes through the core it evaporates solvents in the antifreeze which have this "sweet" smell. This contaminated air enters the car when you put the heater on. You might try a radiator sealant additive obtained at any car part store. If you interior carpets are wet then the leak is bad and needs immediate attention.
What will happen if you drive car with a antifreeze leak?
The car will over heat.
How do you remove interior heat on a parked car under the sun?
what solar device used to remove interior heat from park car in the sun
Can no antifreeze cause no heat in a vehicle?
Yes, if your vehicle is low on antifreeze, there may not be enough to fill the heater core, and you wont get any heat. When the heat stops working in your car, antifreeze/coolant should be the first thing you check.
Does antifreeze make the heat in a car work?
Yes, if your low on antifreeze, there may not be enough to fill the heater core, and you wont get any heat. If your heat is not blowing that should be the first thing you check.
What if you have antifreeze but car still produces no heat?
Bad or clogged heater core. Backflush it.
What is the smell off antifreeze in a car and burning eyes?
possibly a leaking heater core look for antifreeze dripping into the interior of the vehicle. usually it is the core or hose connected to the heater core.
Your 1996 is leaking coolant on the passanger side of the engine can it be the water pume?
If you are talking about a leak within the compartment of the car interior, my guess is that it's your heater core. There is a small radiator (heater core) usually mounted under the dashboard that provides heat to the cars interior. If it's a cold day and you want to heat the interior of your car you turn the controls to heat and turn the fan on, what happens is that a little of the antifreeze/coolant that circulates in your engine is diverted to that small radiator (heater core) under your dash and a fan blows across it to heat the car. As the under dash heater core becomes old it starts to leak, that's why you are seeing radiator fluid on the floor. You need to have it replaced.
Why does the interior of your car heat up on sunny days?
passive solar heating
What does core?
A heater core in a vehicle takes some of the heat from the coolant and runs it through a heat exchanger. The blower in the car that blows hot air into your car runs through that heat exchanger which heats the air that enters your car.
