HeaterCore Troubles...

[evil_twin]

Hey guys/gals;
I have a problem with my e30. I finally hooked up my heater core after it had been a year of driving it with no heat. The problem was that the heater valve was leaking. So I replaced the heater valve, and hooked up the coolant hoses again. I have 1 hose coming from the block, and the other hose going to the T. My problem is when I'm at an idle, the heat is fine, but when I drive and rev the car over 2.5-3k I loose all heat. Anybody know the problem? I'm thinking that I have the hoses on wrong, but it shouldn't make a difference really.


**Switch the lines and the problem should be fixed

funk me. Thanks for searching. I guess I am going back to this noob stage. I never thought it would make that big of a difference just because it would be just a simple flow through such as a radiator but I guess when you put that heater valve in there that would fix it.

Thanks again Jason89i
