I have a problem with my 92 hatch cx and I thought I'd ask you car guru's here, since whenever I ask any questions any where else I get directed here.

anyway, here's my problem.
My cars coolant keeps leaking into the inside on the pass. side ALL over the carpet I thought at first it might be water, but then we looked closer and noticed it was green + it's kinda greasy and leaves an oily residue (on my girlfriends purse)

My friend thinks there might be a leak in a radiator hose, but my dad thinks the coolant is leaking through the heater.

Any help would be SUPER

 

Heater core hose that goes the car core through the bay into the cabin.

 

I had the same problem man, It's your heater core. It more then likely took a crap on you and needs to be replaced. It cost around 80$ at a local parts store and you need to pull your dash.

 

Or the heater core is corroded. happened to my friend replaced the heater core and fixed the problem.

 

^^^ These are some awesome answers too, better than mine

 

deff your heater core. replace that and the hoses if possable and you will be set for a long time.

 

aww FTL

Is there any DIY on how to do it? or could someone help me out please?
Does that have anything to do with the amount of heat or lack there of I'm getting when I turn on the heat?

 

Oh yeah, that would be your problem.

 

I mean.. I mean FTW for all the great answers, but FTL for the heater core

Just pick up a repair manual, about 20 bucks but will save you alot of time.

 

That works!
Hellayea! Thanks
That answers just about everything

Thanks a lot I greatly appreciate it. I'll post up when it's all fixed and show it off

Well Im directly across the drink from you. If you feel like paying my fairy ride over there i would be more then happy to help lol.

 

Until you fix it dont turn your heat on and that might slow down the flow of coolant into your car.

 

lol i'll pay with monopoly money wicked

and I'll try and not travel long distances with my car, but if it starts to overheat (like it did today), i have to turn on the heater to let all the heat out of the engine compartment. That way the engine temp goes down.

 

take some pics if and/or when you do it. for a diy.

 

Will do! I decided to do that soon as I... couldn't find a diy when i did a search on this site. SOOOO, soon to be, a DIY on changing the heater core!

Though I saw that i might have to change the the whole interior carpeting
sad, cuz it's black and WAS spotless. What say you I gut it?

 

It's pretty simple really. There are alot of scary things you might see ( chassis wiring harness) lol but its simple. When it comes time for you to do this please feel free to Pm me or use aim and i can walk you threw it. If I get bored I will do a DIY on this and send it to you and post it for others to use. Just got alot on my hands right now. But like i said, Feel free to contact me for any help

 

whoah hell yeah!
I can't figure out how to pm (i am such a noob )
but i'm hoping to do it next weekend.
So i'll try and get in contact with you by then but if i cant... i'll figure something out
