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!

Due to the way Subaru operates the thermostat it must have the hot water from the
engine to operate it. If you extend the heater hoses there will not be enough flow or heat to operate the thermostat, to correct this problem you must install a BOSCH Aux water pump 0-130-002-070 to keep the heat and flow towards the thermostat to operate the thermostat. |
