<E30> Heater problem solved.

[zaphod@xxxxxxxxxxx]

A couple of issues ago I posted a message that stated I my heater
would blow hot air in town but once I got on the interstate it 
would blow cold.

I have solved the problem.  Originally the heater hoses had been
disconnected at the firewall.  How ever did this connected the
two hoses together with a short pipe.  The reason they did this 
unknown but what I did find out was the the heater value would 
not open.  I replaced the heater value but because I did not 
know which hose went to which pipe coming out of the firewall
I connected them backwards.  Just one of those things, you have
a fifty-fifty chance of getting it right or wrong and I got it
wrong.  

Determined the connections were wrong when I as looking up some
other information in my Bently manual and found a picture showing
the hoses connected to the heater pipes at the firewall.

I just want to thank all of you who sent me suggestions while I 
was stumped by this problem.
