Hi everyone,
I have a 5.0 powered Volvo wagon and just replaced the blown heater core this afternoon. Before I button it up, I have a flow control valve to install in the inlet hose to the heater core. High RPM blew the old core and it is such a big job to replace, I do not want to do it again for a long time.
So...On my 90 5.0 V8 engine, the lower water pump hose should go to the top inlet on the heater core and that is where I should put this pressure reducer, right? I would just pop off that hose, start the car and see where the coolant flies, but I have several kids and pets and since I am working alone, it would make a huge mess...that and most of the interior is gone including the dash while I makeover the interior.
So if anyone could tell me for sure which hose to pop this $15 part in, I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ed
