I was driving to my G/Fs work tonight to pick her up. I flipped on my AC and instantly vaporated engine coolant comes pouring through my vents! Argh! Fogs my windshield up in 1/2 a second.

Also, when I get home, I notice theirs a gigantic puddle of coolant on my passanger floorboard. My carpet is ruined!!

I just had a new Radiator and Thermostat installed a few weeks ago. I thought mechanics were supposed to FIX cars. My car never did this before the new rad/thermostat.

I already know I should take it back to the shop, but what in the WORLD can cause this kind of problem?

 

Heater Core's dead. If you can live w/o the heat, you can bypass the lines goin into the firewall as if you do a TB Bypass. Look on the passenger side of the engine and you'll see 2 coolant lines go into the firewall. Connect those 2 together and no coolant inside the car, also no heat. Heater core is cheap, but it takes forever to do I hear.

 

you be sure they buy you new carpet if this turns out to be there fault!!!

 

Rerouted the lines and bypassed the heater core. All is well for now.

Thanks

 

soory the only way they could be responsible is that they WAYYYYY over presurized the system when they put it back togeather. otherwise... and another thing, you will never be able to prove they caused it.
