okay first off.. the car was in a slight wreck a bit ago... waiting to fix it..

the front core support is slighly on the radiator...
was fine, but now, for a week or so i see water\greeze anitfeeze dripping from front of engine... i can see it on the the lower part of frame, in front...

the car temp goes to normal quick, but nothing further... at times the cars fans are constaly running...

so this morning... its chilly out, a 10 min drive, i had the heat on full blast, and no heat... at the end of the drive i could feel it get warm, then cool, it got pretty hot for a min then back to cool...???

oh no... sounds like WP!

1 question... when my car is getting fixed. the guy is taking off the front bumper and radiator... is the WP easy to reach if these are off?

you do not need to remove either to get to the water pump, just the battery


but if I read your post right there is other damage from an aciedent around the radiator? if so then that would make sense to take the radiator and bumper off/out

Your lack of heat from the heater could be from a bad water pump due to the impeller that fell apart.

It could also be from the coolant being too low to circulate into the heater.

He probably didn't replace the antifreeze that leaked out.

Can't get heat from air (or engine cooling, either) on this car.
