Heater

Post by Barraclough »

Should my heater take so long to get warm, it never did in my old corsa. Hate these winter morning and evenings taking ages to defrost wind screen and ages to get a warm car!

The colder the weather the longer it take unfortunatly on a cold morning it should still only take 5-10 mins max to heat up,
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Its the way they are designed, engine wont let any heat.out till it reaches its running temp,

Freash coolant helps abit but if the coolant is fairly freash dont bother
