general thermostat question

i know this isnt BMW forums, but i dont want to wait for a response from them.

anyway, i replaced my heater core. added coolant, started it up, and the core doesnt heat up. neither does the radiator. my guess is bad thermostat cuz no coolant is flowing. is that a possibility??

i think my uncle was having problems with his car with that also, but from what i know of after her put the new thermo on he had no problems.

oh but one one thing is it was corvette

Did you "Burp" the coolant? Is the Heater on?

the thermostat on my truck is sticking... I need to fix it before I get stranded off in the boonies somewhere.

its the thermostat. i just tested it and it didnt even work in beyond boiling water. there were cracks in it, i think it might have froze.

Thermostat.... GOT TO!

yep sounds like a sure thing.....what kind of beamer you got? NVM 735 i see it now. How you like it compared to your old s13??

tad late on the reply...
the bimmer is a much more solid car than the s13 was. definetly faster, but its a beast of course. handles well, could use some suspension, as i could use some cash. its in excellent condition, would look newer if it had a paint job and some armor all taken to it...

i definetly miss the standard drive though. it was a shit load of fun being able to slide whenever i wanted. it woulda been fun the other day when it rained and all the roads were iced over at 1 in the morning. *cries*
