The Dude Abides Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 So was having a hellava time today driveing my car. I dont think it likes -14 temps. Something interesting with the heater again. When i put it on floor vents i noticed the needle went way down to the cold positon but when i put it on vent it went up to the halfway mark. Is the cold just messing around with me or is something amiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 There's probably just less restriction in the floor vent than in the dash vents. Thus the blower gets more air across the core when it's on floor, and so the heater core dissipates more engine heat. With temps that cold, you might want to put a bit of cardboard in front of the radiator to partially block airflow to it. That will help in getting it up to temp and keeping it there.
