I've got a 2014 FiST, something kinda weird has been happening with the heating. I've never been 100% happy with the heat output, I figured the car was just somewhat cold blooded, I'm starting to think now though I've got more of an issue. When the heat is working, it will go cold immediately when I stop at a stoplight and not start to warm up again until I've taken off, and this morning (-12 Celsius) it wouldn't blow any hot air at all, despite being driven far enough to warm up and the engine temp sensor showing a normal level (though I dont really trust the digital gauges that much)... Any ideas? I've thought it could be an air block in the coolant system somewhere, or heater control valve issue, all the vents switch normally and when its on Auto it operates normal, just doesn't get warm.
I've got a warranty appointment next week but I'd rather do some troubleshooting of my own and at least try to narrow it down for the techs, I dont trust dealerships much and don't have that much faith in their tech departments.
