Running COLD !!!
#1

With the temp down to 19deg this morning, it's time for some heat. I had no trouble so far this year with the car. Temp stays in the middle of guage and goes to operating temp in short time. I keep the car in the garage, so it warmed up rather quickly this morning,but not as soon as my S2. Coming home this evening it did not get above the first mark ( even after waiting 5min for a train !! ). Heat came out of the vents, but not REALLY hot. The temp dial was at full hot. It sounds like a stuck termostat... But is there anything else to look for ??? Thanks for any info....

I had a stuck thermostat last winter. The temp would not get up to the first mark. Changed th thermostat and then it would get to normal operating temp within the first 3 miles / 5 minutes.
