[V6-12v] Water in the Heater Core

[Casimiro Izquierdo]

I want to thank all who sent me suggestions on how to fix this problem.  I will not be exchanging the heater core since this car is used only for commuting to the train station.   It may not be very comfortable to drive in a car without heat or AC, but I do not plan on keeping it more than two more years..  One of the members found a ready made hose that he used in his car.  I will try to buy the same and bypass the heater core.

I have a few questions about the cam position sensor that I replaced a few months ago and other things:

1- What exactly goes bad in this sensor?  I looked at the new one and the old one and could not find anything different.
2- Do all cars have this sensor?  I have never heard it going bad before in any other make.
3- How do you clean the rear window from the inside?  The wires are on the surface and I wonder whether using Windex will corrode the wires and make the heater matrix useless.
4- The steering wheel gets very sticky when it is humid.  Is there some coating that can be applied so that it does not stick anymore?  It did not use to be like that before some kind of coating rubbed off.

Thank you,

Casimiro
