yeah everyones heat is to hot to touch when you live down south.... but when you live up north and its below -20 the heaters suck. all that freezing air its trying to heat, the heater core doesn't do a very good job.1988 e30 alpine white vert 5speed

I don't have heat in my E30. So, not very. My Volvo is mildly hot on full blast, but I'm sure the coolant is nearly a decade old..and against my better judgement, my procrastination towards doing any maintenance has led me to a sort of triumphant laziness and satisfaction in the manufacturing of my car. Works for me. Heated seats are a godsend too, NJ is cold now :(
Thinking about making my own heater box for the E30 though!

My heater sucks. times like 5 minutes or more to warm up and never gets real hot any when i stop at a light its cold again. Theres something up with my cooling system i know there is air in it and i've tried bleeding it with no luck. Every time i drive somewhere i crack the bleeder and let more air out and every single time more air comes out over and over. I don't know what to do i've gave up and just going to do head gasket next spring when i can get my daily out of storage.

It's always been able to cook my feet in my boots on cold mornings on the way to AutoX. It wasn't terribly hot the last time it got below freezing, though. Still warm enough to run around with the windows down and the sunroof open! I get so many dirty looks.Originally posted by george gravesIf people keep quoting me in their sig, I'm going to burn this motherfucker down.

But I think the one or two times I did I couldn't find a medium between too hot or too cold.

I changed out my heater core so yes I know that it's runs with the coolant lines.Originally posted by TSI♫ Rust flecks are falling on my head...♫OEM+
