Tim,

I just picked my 86 635 up from my mechanic (thermostat was stuck open - not good in 20 degree weather), and he told me that my heater control valve would be the next heat-related component to fail. When I asked how I'd know, he said that the car will pump out warm air at lower speeds, and then on the highway it will start to blow ice-cold air, until you slow down again. Hope this helps. My mechanic (BMW-only independent) is usually pretty darn good. It's worth putting up with his holier-than-thou attitude, because he's really that good.

Happy New Year

Guys I need some help
I have recently started restoring
my 87 635. Just finished the
interior and just complete bare metal
paint. BBS wheel Upgrad 16x8 and 16x9
ETC.
MY PROBLEM:
My interior Heater will not keep hot!
I believe it has to do with the interior
temp sensor which may be damaged.
SYMPTOMS:
Is hot when at idle and below 40mph(observation)
above 40 or when accelerating hard the heat
is gone and cold air blows.
Please send response for help
thanks in advance
Tim
