[urq] Great day yesterday got the"nice-car-thumbs-up-into-a-hang-loose" sign from a kid....

I would bet my bottom dollar on it. If you have your shop replace it, be
SURE they install a new foam seal around the heater core.  I can guarantee
that without the seal the heat will be marginal at best (btdt). The heater
core should be a very snug fit into the box with the right seal. And make
sure it comes from the dealer. The part is from a rabbit and is cheap.

driving a beat up Acura Legend. I returned the secret cool sign with a
simple nod followed by a twist-of-the-wrist-wave. However, thruoghout the
course of the day I noticed a slight whiff of antifreeze inside the car.
Could not find a leak anywhere under the car or in and around the hoses and
radiators. My guess is the heater core, seeing you can smell it inside but
not really outside. any BTDT's? I cannot believe that the urq has a cracked
head or gasket for that matter. I would think if the fan stopped working or
the thermostat was stuck the car would boil over first (yes i have yet to
install a temp guage) like my 90 90 20vq did this passed july when the fan
came unpluged by accident. Thanks Mike C
