Hey fellas, recently I changed my heater valve & core (both new OE Bosch & Behr) to try to finally end freezing my ass off every winter in my stroker. After bleeding the system, with the bleed screw, and even rev'ing the motor, the heat was working...but only for a day.
I have since bled the system 4 more times and every time there is a constant flow of coolant from the bleed screw. Therefore I'm at a loss as there is no coolant getting to the core. I felt the return tube leaving the core and it is cold even after a 15min drive.
One quick question, per what I've read on the forums, do I need to have the Temperature dial on heat or cold when I plug in the heater valve? It seems it would not make a difference either way, but just checking.
One more question, I assume the top line, where the heater valve goes is the inlet, correct? This inlet will connect to the hose coming off the rear of the head. The bottom line, the outlet, which connects to the hose that leads back to the front of the engine bay??
Also, do you think it could be a problem with the Temperature dial? I think not because when the fan is on full blast and I turn the dial from cold to hot I can hear a change taking place.
Anyhow, thanks for your time and I'd appreciate any assistance before winter sets in
**EDIT** forgot to add that at night during cold'ish (34F) weather the windscreen gets a lot of moisture on the inside after being parked for a few hours. There are no leaks at the new heater valve, core or inlet/outlet tubes.
