Hello!
I've been searching on the web and in this board but couldn't find any topics on this one... seems there's a tendency to overheating engines and not overcooling ones...
I've been noticing that my EG - it has a D15B2 (European) that - gets absolutely cold after getting the heater on.
The engine gets to operating temperature, though a bit slowly to my liking, and when I get the heater to hot position and turn the heater fan on (though not really necessary, it just accelerates the process), the engine simply gets cold... I mean really cold, like "I just started the engine right now" cold. It's even worse if I switch on the air flow from the outside.
After I turn everything off, the engine starts to run hot again but it takes ages to get to the optimum temp... Don't think it's the t-stat, because I've never heard of a stat getting stuck after the heater's on (but there's always a first...).
Not really problem but a nuisance because winter's getting here and gas mileage suffers with cold engines, so any help is welcome.
Regards,
