Wow, that heat can start kickin some ass... finally gets to the point I have to lower my windows and let some heat out... even if I don't have the heater on, the warm air is still processed and pushed thru the vents...
Also, since I've bypassed the VSV, whenever I run my car at cold operating temp I get a gurgling sound that sounds like water falling in on itself thanks to air bubbles formed in the lines... I'm guessing this is the infamous "Waterfall" noise that typically comes from behind the firewall? I only hear it when I accelerate and only hear it when the engine is cold..
Apparently I have the wrong type of radiator cap for the sealed system and it does not want to suck fluid back from the reserve tank once pressures have decreased. This is what I was told, not what I observe. I observe the levels in my radiator and reserve tank to remain the same any time the car is cold. So as I'd like to believe the air bubbles are created from the contraction of water as it cools, I kind of feel that needs to be dismissed by the fact that the reserve tank doesn't horde, consume or contribute any extra fluid to the system..
Please refresh my memory... the 'waterfall' sound is indicative of a BHG? or could it be something to do with the heater core?
