So i finished my s54 swap 3 years ago. Love the swap and the e30 but I never drove it in cold climates. I now have a short term need to run the car for part of this winter while looking for a new car.
I go to fix the heat in the car over the past weeks and am coming up unsuccessful.
I have a new heater core, new heater shut off valve new hoses and new thermostat bypass and still have no heat.
This shows my current routing:
I must disclose i have changed the hose routing on other parts of this engine. I will try to get photos to show this later, but i still have my factory e30 1990 325i coolant jug in the factory location and i welded in tubing to make this work. I also am running factory e30 radiator and factory s54 thermostat, all new and functioning well.
My concern is that some hose routing i have changed may be affecting the flow characteristics to my heater core preventing sufficient flow giving me no heat inside.
How have others run theirs and how well does your heat work? Thanks in advance.
