Might be the valve.  They have an electrically controlled valve, it's not mechanical like the e30.  I'm not sure how it works though, here's a pic...

well tonight I went to check the antifreeze level and just saw ice in there:D
guess I put too much water when I was changing my water pump. tonight was a bit warmer and the ice melted when the engine got warmer, so now theres heat;) just need to add more antifreeze
