heaters never get hot when moving
#1
i have a dturbo and my heaters never get warm or hot when im driving along. when i sit still they do. my brother said he read something on corsa sport about its the cold air getting to the radiator and cooling it too much and to put cardboard infront of it to stop it? any ideas?

You could put cardboard over the rad as temporary bodge but for 5quid might aswell just replace thermostat Smile Just remember to bleed the system through after otherwise you could have issues!

Yeah I'd say 'stat, too. They should sit at around 83 degrees.
