Heater output

[Skydance]

I don't think the heater circuit opens up fully till the engine temperature is up to operating temperature. If you have the temperature display on I can see it takes a good 8 miles to get the full operating temperature, mine is diesel,. After that my heater goes from the initial cold, then warm air to fully functioning at 8 miles. It remains fully functioning until the engine cools. That means overnight, as the engine retains heat for short stops.

Even thats a bit crazy. I get fully functioning heat from a cold engine in around 8 minutes not 8 miles. Pretty quick to warm up, mine. It’s just frustrating that it sometimes whistles when the actuators aren’t fully closed between face and feet.

at 60 mph 8 minutes = 8 miles.
