Went to move the car yesterday, so I could work on it - (Sunday 10-09). It's no more then a 20 yard pivot really, I fire it up and press the brake and the pedal drops to the floor with almost no resistance. What the hell, I thinking. I'm able to move it anyway but the brakes were super soft. I park it and pop the hood to discover my master cylinder is bone dry. How did this happen? Did my brake lines rot out? Critters? Another problem to deal with...
Got the new heater core in, on Wednesday of this past week. Everything installed fine, seemed to work OK, so I put the heater core covers back on, buttoned it all back up. Yesterday, Sunday, I thought to bleed the cooling system so I let the car get to operating temp. After running for 10 minutes or so I see coolant running down the inside of the firewall!! Un-Nerving to say the least. Then I notice a huge puddle on the outside. Only thing it could be I'm thinking, is heater core hoses, the clamps.... I don't know. I proceed to take off all heater core covers, check heater core for leaks. None to be found. I remove hoses, re-tighten the hose clamps in the engine bay, and try again. Still leaking, but minor now. What the hell!? I'm 100% sure the clamps are right, so..... must be the hoses. Drove to AutoZone and bought 2 new hoses and Coolant Concentrate. Another surprise $50.00 spent on the turd. By the end of the night I had it all working right tho. Heat so HOT you could roast a chicken in there! I was ready to call it quits but wanted to get a few sheets of the Damplifier on, plus I was enjoying the heat in the cabin after 1.5yrs of NO heat. Worked an extra hour playing with that. That stuff is gonna be great.
No brake fluid. Where did it go?
Leaking!! Why are you leaking?
And leaking on the outside, Ohhh Man. Burn this car down!
Damplifier applied to rear seat:
