Hey everyone happy thanksgiving. So yesterday I drove the wife's car and noticed the heater was warm but not hot. I did noticed the temp gauge would come up some and go down so I plugged in my solus edge and looked at live data it would fluctuate from 186-194f
I decided to do the thermostat just to be safe and it doesn't fluctuate anymore but even sitting the temp doesn't get past 200 and was around 190f. The thermostat is a 195. The heater blows at 122 degrees but it's not blistering hot. It blew at 110 yesterday on the 3rd setting. So the thermostat helped but I would expect the car to blow around 140-160 the dart blows at 150 at similar settings. The coolant is clean the car runs good. I checked the blend door cable at the switch it's moving as it should and appears to be using its full travel. I cannot see at the blend door itself but the heat does get increasingly warmer or colder as you move the dial. Any thoughts ? Maybe 122 is ok? I don't drive the car all the time so I can't compare how it's been at different times. All help is appreciated everyone.
