Well, i spent a good part of the night tearing into this, i put air thru both the inlet and outlet of the core openings at the fire wall, and pushed water thru both ways. Then tore into the bottom of the dash looking for the control valve, after messing with the linkage, it seemed it wAS WARMING UP, ALTHOUGH THE LINKAGE LOOKED AS IF IT WAS FUNTIONING PROPERLY! So, I started it up, let it warm up, and drove it home, about 15 miles down the highway, on a 20 degree morning. The longer the car ran the colder the air got inside the car, temp guage worked up to around the 3/4 mark. Still baffled in Utah............... PS...one difference I have noticed...it seems in the past when I would fire up the heat or defroster, i would feel the compressor kick on, a slight bog in the motor, since I have had this problem recently, I have NOT noticed this...???

I have a 85 subaru GL 4dr sedan, 1.8 2bbl carb. I have no heat! changed out the thermostat, the manual talks about a heater control valve and also possibility of heater core...where is the control valve and is this a likely cause? Guess I have to tear out the dash to get the core? dont want to do this unless I know for certain this is the cause. Any tips / clues would be appreciated. Tim

The noise I have been hearing has been spuratic, and differs as well...when I first noticed it, it sounded like a loose wheel, it sounded like the wheel was going to fall off, then it kind of went away, however at speeds around 40 and above, when letting off the gas, it would pull to the right...when making a sharp turn in a circle, it does not do a rythmatic clicking like a bad cv joint, I could only get it to show itself when goosing the car with the clutch in 1st gear. Also a right front vibration sound is heard when at a cruising speed....???:madder:

I have a 1985 subaru gl sedan, it has been making racket in the right front wheel, I took off the wheel, and inserted in the front of the hub behind the locknut, was a thick washer (which is cracked) and then a beveled piece inside the hub, which is also cracked. Behind that was nothing, should there be? I pulled off the hub, and then there is a rubber seal inserted, behind which is the baering I believe. What are the cracked parts I removed, and should I be looking for anything else or replacing anything else? AZny response is greatly appreciated. Thanx, Tim:banghead:
