Ive had this problem for a while but always forget to have it looked into so figured someone might have an idea. Basically the cars taking AGES to get me any warm air. Off the top of my head id say atleast 10/15minutes. Also dont think its blowing out any major amounts of air either.

The engine temp needle works like normal. ie i havent noticed it taking any slower/longer to warm up.

Anyone got any ideas?

Afif, it may be....

The thermostat is stuck open.
The control unit in the dash is on its last leg.
The heater box valve is stuck closed.

if i had to guess, it'll be the third... get your error codes read out if u can:)

cheers mitsu, any way i can check either of those without getting a readout? Im assuming control box is a scrap yard issue. What/where is the heater box valve? ie How do i fix it.
