Getting that sweet smell when I first turn the heat on. Also losing a little coolant. It goes away pretty fast and is not leaking into the cabin "yet". Any recommendations on this? I know about the brass custom made one from brassworks, but am not planning on spending $400 on this.

It gets cold there in Chesapeake. You really need to order the brassworks heater core! This is gonna be an extremely cold winter this year there. If you are driving into Norfolk the usual 45 minutes to drive 12 miles to work will be COLD and slow due to all the snow this year.

Besides that I want to hear more positive reviews from the brassworks core🤣. That’s the one I plan on using when my time comes.
 
I used a Four Seasons on my 97 but it's much less than the factory spec.

Seat heaters supplement HVAC heat.
