No Heat ? ? ?
I turned on my heat last night and it never got warm, there was a slight difference in temerature from cold to hot, but it was still cold air blowing. Any ideas?

All the same, it seems as if there are a significant number of us who have this problem. My coolant level is fine, I've flushed the coolant at least 3 times in the last 12 months for various upgrade reasons, etc. Even with the heat blowing full out the footwell, it only gets warm. Never hot.
edit: I haven't looked into this but I'm thinking that the temperature selector on the dash is electronic and probably causes a stepper motor to actuate a flap in the heater core box or something like that. It certainly doesn't feel like a mechanical switch. Anyway, it could simply be that at the max heat setting, the motor isn't fully actuating and we're never getting full airflow through the heater core. Has anyone investigated this to see if this is the case? It would explain a lot.
