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!

Take a pic of your hose routing in the engine bay. Be thorough. Include pic's showing your reservoir and/or expansion tank. Show the high points and low points. A drawing is 2 dimensional and emblematic at best. Where is your bleed located in the front trunk?Did you do the build yourself and this is the 1st overheating problem or did someone else build it and since you worked on it the overheating problem began? Once we get this straightened out you can reconnect your heater but you will need the part shown in my previous response. You can pm me if you need. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) i did the build myself and once i tried installing the heater core after months of perfect operation thats when it happened. it basically heats up to 207' then wont go down despite the thermostat being a 170' |
