The Honda Civic is by far the second-longest running nameplate in the United States,. It is also considered as one of the model that is continuously running since it was launched in 1972. Meaning since then until the present there is a new Honda Civic model coming out with innovations and top class quality components that meet the demand of people who value their money as well as comfort and reliability.
The Honda Civic heater core is like a small radiator and is used in heating the interior of the car. It is located under the dashboard and basically functions like the radiator for the engine. The only difference is that instead of the heat being funneled outside the car in the case of the radiator, the heat is released inside the car to warm the passenger compartment. The heater core has a tube or piping with several hoses made of aluminum that increases the surface area heated. Also, a fan helps out in blowing the heat towards the interior compartment which can be controlled by manual knobs or by electronic switches. When working properly, the heater core can create a cabin heat by transforming engine heat and blowing the hot coolant towards the inside of the car.
Like the engine radiator, the heater core can suffer the same problems like corrosion, clogging and leaking. When the tubes are blocked or clogged by improper maintenance only a small amount of heat can flow towards the cabin thus lessening the heating capacity. The leak on the heater core which is caused by corrosion can cause damage on the interior accessories like carpets, foul odor, molds and rust. One can tell if there is a leak when you can see damp carpets and fogging on your windshield. Also, the green sweet-smelling coolant will be oozing from the heater core. Rather than risk damage on your interior accessories which is more expensive, or experience the difficulty of driving on a cold morning it would be better to check your heater core because it might be the cause.
