How to Clean Heater Core? - 93 Civic
Hi folks, Some kind of critter got into the heater ducts on my 93 Del Sol (same as 93 Civic) and was making a nest. I vacuumed out what seemed like all of the stuff through the grills, but there is a nasty smell when the heater core is hot, so there must be some material in there. What is involved with cleaning out the fan and heater core? Is this a DIY job? Thanks, Dan (This account is not used for email.) |

You can then look up inside, reach inside, and use a combination of brushes and compressed air / vacuum to clean out lots of stuff. __Not sure how similar DelSol will be.__ A high volume air compressor might be invaluable . . . Just don't crush the fins of the core with anything. 'Curly' |
