i am doing a tafe course on autamotive at the moment and have just came across a possible threat to all humans that like to use the heater i the car
the problem with the heating system that was explained to me many years ago by a patient parent by the name of mr turner tommy to his mates
it involves turing the heater on in the car and adding of poisons to the cars interior and a may be possible cause threat that causes for young people that vomit and sleeep well during travel in colder climates
it is called the radiator and adding coolant as well as rust protection and then turning on the heater for the cars interior it adds the gasses from the radiator to the cars interior and also adds the heated gasses from the radiator that has been heating during driving
remember the coolant and the rust protection well you have just started to inhale the whole concuction
so maybe we need to think of purchasing an eloectric heater for the car and removing the heater hoses fromunder the dash as well the heater from the inside of the car

Considerring the fact that many of the newer cars have alloy motors would they rust? In older cars I know that welsh plugs may eventually leak but I don't know if they are part of the cooling system in any way. One issue I had was being able to get the lid of the coolant "bottle" on tight enough. On 2 occasions I thought is was on tight as I couldn't tighten it any further only to be told later that it wasn't. The 2nd time on parking after 3/4 hour drive we discovered we had leaked out most of our coolant.
The "bottle" was almost empty after being filled to recommended level before we left home. We called the RAA Road Service after we discovered the welsh plugs had slight rust marks on the "motor block" below them (only the front ones).
I might add the car had been serviced only a couple of weeks before by a reputable service company but the mechanic did not mention that the welsh plugs were leaking at all. We had the car re-serviced by the mechanical workshop connected to the RAA in Murray Bridge, the entire cooling system checked, and the welsh plugs replaced. We knew the workshop (in Murray Bridge) had a lot of other vehicles pre-booked and expected to be minus our car for 2 days, but we got it back late that afternoon. They did a fabulous job and the price was very reasonable. They used geniune manfucturer parts and top quality coolant. I wish I remembered the company's name as they were very helpful and gave excellent advice. We confirmed the advice we were given by a Motor Mechanic (not the one who had previously serviced the car) and were told the company was honest and had a excellent reputation.
