Alright i have a seemingly easy car question. I have a 92 teg, and since it has gotten colder (30-40 degrees) when i drive down the road the heat hand stays at Cold and the heater sucks ass. It gets luke warm but thats about it, use to it would blow you out of it. What is causing this? I'm thinking a sensor is loose or leaking allowing outside air in? If that is the case i dont know what sensor it would be and where it would be at. Any help is appreciated. Oh and the teg forum is slow at replies, and the basement peeps seem to know a good bit about cars too.......

 

Check the thermostat.

 

It just stared doing it since its turned cold so i dont think its the thermostat stuck open. If you let it sit and idle the hand goes up, but once you start moving and the cold air runs through it, in less than a minute its down on the C.

 

Anyone else have any ideas? I was thinking its the temp. sensor, but if thats the case would it not be leaking coolant or something?

 

:ugh:

 

Are you fucking kidding me?

This can't be a serious question I hope.

 

No man, i'm dead fuckin serious. I know since its cold, it might not run as warm as normal. But it looks like the car is turned off....its all the way on the C and the heater sucks. I was just askin......

 

how cold has it been on average?

 

On the nights its all the way on the C its been about mid 30's...

 

Yea man thats pretty cold for an aluminum radiator with a plastic top on it. Welcome to winter
