What is a "core shot?

Does running water sound under my dash mean my heater core is shot?

  • Answer:

    Not always, no... it depends on the car.... Wet carpet under the dash and unaccounted for fluid loss does mean the heater core is shot...

not completely no, the best way to tell is if your carpet on the passenger side is wet. best place to check is on the underside of it.

check your radiator if no coolant or low yes heater core is bad. Most of the time if heater core is leaking it will have a very bad odor.

No, check your radiator and make sure it is full.
