Here's my side of the story.... LOL as if the car can tell her side!!
Im a little long winded...
Took the car out last night Softball game, Fox Sports Grill (sucks), bar(1/2 block from home), then home.. Keep in mind I have put 256 miles on the new motor, since we solved the heating/cooling issue...So we thought!
While I'm driving to the game at 8pm I'm on and off it never above 5k rpm's a) speed limit B) Not inspected yet Cops etc...
Get there no problem car ran like a champ... never even thought about going past normal on the Temp gauge. Play the game, kick some ass yaadaadaaa
Head to Fox Sports Grill, Shitty service blah blah we leave.... I left my CC at the bar (forgot to close my Tab DUMB@$$ ME). I do not realize this till im at the bar 1/2 a block from home.. Well I call the place to reassure myself they have my CC.. Get in the car and with a little more pep in my foot I drive consistently at or about 3 - 3.5 k rpm's the entire way there.. Pull up to the bar which is about 10 min's away. Heater is smelling like antifreeze ( Check the Gauge I'm at a little under (3/4) I freak.. Kill the car go in and drink some water kill about 20-30 min's come back out, Pop the hood no over flow, no steam, oil is clean, No natural Spring in the Res I mean do a good little check... Get in the car Drive it back to bar B (1/2 a block from home). The entire drive home I have the heater Cranked at high, Smells Strongly like Antifreeze... So I get there kill the car pop the hood everything looks normal... Leave the bar at 130 am... Put put home Low Res Light is ON!!
What the HELL..... I park the car in the garage say ill check it in the morning..TOSS and Turn all night Dreaming of the worst possible case....Wake up go out Check the Res... Its 3/4 empty, getting scared... GO straight to the dip stick... CLEAN AS COULD BE.. So I pop the crossover plug... I'm low.. So I get the Antifreeze Jug... Put 1/4 of a gallon in and 1/4 gallon in of water = 1/2 gallon All res/crossover/heater core hose are over flowing. Plug the Res and heater core hose Fill at the crossover and plug her up and let her idle..... 35 min's she reaches Normal Temp, I burp the car.. and let her idle, No problems...
My question is.... What the hell is wrong with my car LOL
I do not like the strong smell of antifreeze im getting with the heater on...Is this normal. Is it a sign of a bad Heater core She did sit for 1 yr ..
Let me hear your suggestion and thoughts
