Ok so im driving down the road in my 90 hatch and i get this smell and its like coming from my heater i think my heater coil went bad it smells so bad. Its like a constant smell but when i let it cool down on the way home from work i didnt smell it that bad but i didnt put the heat on. Is this hard to fix and is this the prob?

 

Whats it smell like ? Sweet smell ? Or a rotten egg smell ?

 

u have a dead animal in ur heater system ...lol but no really u meant heater core?

 

it smells like burning antifreeze its the worst smell ever and i dont know how much it will cost me to fix it any ideas its like only when i put on my heat...

 

my heat stinks too. o well

 

I dont got no leaks and my heat still works i dont know what it is..

 

yea mines does that sometimes in a very short time period

 

i Went to the shop i was really low on coolant so that might of been the prob caz their was no coolant on my rug. And now i dont smell anything and the heat is fine now that i put it in but i went and got the stuff today and im gonna change the oil and **** i dont know whats up but they told me 330 for labor on the heater coil so if that is it, it will be done by my self

Apparently you have not smelled a lot of car related smells

I had a heater core in my first civic changed by the dealership. $950 labor & parts.

 

My car smells like plastic after using the heater what does that mean? *sorry for the hijack*

you have hyper heating... your melting the plastic.... turn that Shizzy down y0.

j/k.

 

similar thing happened in my 95 grand am......horrible anti-freeze smell, but the car didn't seem to be overheating. when i took it to the shop i found out it was a bad heater core. sounds to me like that may be your problem as well.
