Ok, So, i have an ej205 in my car and until recently ive had just a hose going from one end of the heater pipes to the other. But lately i got the big idea to move to the 20th century and so i added a heater core up front. this meant ~ 20' of 5/8" heater hose (autozone was just thrilled) filled the hoses with water added a bleeder and BAM heat......Or so i thought. My car ran consistently 170-180 now at idle im around 207-208 and it climbs to 230 before im too scared to drive more. ive been attempting to bleed it for three days scolding myself all along they way. What have i done wrong or what can i try, ive been on hills stopped suddenly and swerved hardcore. is it possible that now my car just runs hotter or is there a magic trick for removing air please help!

That looks like the same way I ran my heater.
If you close that shutoff valve it will cause the car to over heat. On a Subaru the collant has to keep flowing in the heater curicut. I read that some where online and I know my car will run hot if I shut the water off to the heater core. Something about the thermostat not working right if that flow is shut off. Apparently we need to use a 4 way heater valve. It will shut off all collant to the heater core yet still keep the coolant flowing on the engine side. My enginge is a ej22 and I'm not sure if thay are all the same in this regard. To help get rid of any air in the sytem I am able to fill the system through the "bleeder" near the heater core. I used one of those coolant flush tees with a removable cap and fabricated a funnel to screw on to it. |

Ive done that with a normal funnel and jesus christ! when the hot water gets to it it starts mixing with the cold water bubbling and popping and over filling the funnel then if i remove the funnel a jet of 200' steam shoots me in the face its mad!..... maybe i should try when its cold. thx for the info on the 4 way valve though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
