The lukewarm 850!

posted by  someone claiming to be rich g. on  Fri Jan 24 06:40 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi,
Thanks for all the input on the solution to the barely warm 850. As posted, the thermostat is brand new, air mix is "off"~ made that mistake the first winter we owned the car, the temp guage reads normal. It is possible there is some blockage in the vent system~ I`ll check it out!
Seems this 855 is an anomaly as far as heat is concerned, we love the car otherwise.
Thanks again!
Rich

    rich g,
    Just because you replaced the thermostat doesn't mean that it's OK. New ones can be faulty....bottom line, is the engine temperature (guage) reaching the half point as normal? If so, then you have sensor problems assuming you have the ACC option.
