    I've notice that there is not much heat coming out of my vents . My grill is not blocked and I'm not recycling the inside cabin air. I have the temp set at 68. When I push up the temp to near 78 then I get some heat.
    Do you think this might be a sign that my pump is failing? Thanks FishHawk

    Have you had any sort of repair or service work done recently? If so it is possible that the coolant was not properly filled. Otherwise I would have a qualified tech check for proper operation of the coolant pump and the valves which control the coolant flow.

    Just use manual mode with MAX HOT.

    It really cooks that way.

    I'll try the higher temp. If comes and goes. Next time in for service I'll have them check the pump. Thanks FishHawk
