Hey I just have a quick question, can the heater core in a 2g awd turbo cause the car to slightly overheat if it is clogged ??

ALSO another thing I noticed is that if I'm in a carwash with the heat on I would see some coolant dripping on the passenger side floor, could that cause however the car does not over heat like that its only when I start the car for the first time, I just want to know if a heater core can cause the car to over heat. THATS ALL.

Please no HG suggestions, I know its either the heater core or the radiator, I just want to see if its possible for the heater core to over heat.

Hmmm, so when you replaced that did your car stop over heating, as for the coolant on the floor that ONLY happens when im in a car wash with the heat on NOT ANY OTHER TIME, so could it still be that.
