During the summer i had a problem with the interior heater on my 2.2.mig..would not heat up but car was overheating....so took tips from you kind lads on here and ...properly bled the cooling system,,changed thermostat and it cured the problem....we all know 2.2 take ages to warm up and for heater to work properly but my problem now is,,although the engine temp stays around 88/90 deg once hot ,the more the outside temp drops the less warm my heater is..in fact yesterday the temp dropped to 6 degrees and the heater only put out warm let alone hot.....so to sum up when outside temp is say above 12 deg heater gets hot but as outside temp drops so does the heater warmth drop...but engine temp remains around 88/90 deg regardless.....any ideas why this is please..thanks..

I cant answer your question, but my 2003 2.2 cdx is showing 80deg after only 4/10 of a mile, and 85-90deg by 6/10 of a mile.
The heater works as it should too, so maybe its just a myth that they all take ages to warm up.

Unless of course there is something wrong with mine!

Got to say i agree with amazonion, the heater on my Desmond heats up quickly as well.
