Bluebear Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I know mine takes AGES to demist etc, and theres hardly anything come out of the vents. Had a look at the air filter, and mine was just clogged full of oil, road muck etc, probably never been changed ever. Gonna buy a new one, see if it helps.If you're interested, its underneath dash on passenger side. Look for an oblong shape, it pulls off from what I can remember, or there's retaining plastic bolt/pins. Once you have the cap off, the filter will be there. Edited January 30, 2012 by Bluebear Quote

Dan507 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Takes minutes in the Rex The Glanza only took about 5 minutes and it was pretty warm too. Quote
mattyD Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 after 3 years and a few barron winters, il take what ever heat i can get since i put a new matrix in! since i plumbbed the system back in it seems to take longer to heat up but once it does, it is nice an toasty Quote
LukeSR Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Once the car's warm (10/15 minutes), my heaters are that hot they make my face go all tight Quote
MARC MOSS Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Mine are shite too they take ages and then it only gets warm Quote
Blitz Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 mine dont work been told my heater matrix is clogged by the time i think about doing something it starts getting warm again ie summer then i dont care, seems to be a common fault though Quote
*Zoe* Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 mine take awhile to warm up and then get really hot Quote
Liam_D Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Mine take a good 10/15mins to get warm. But they do get warm enough to notice. Quote
StarletMad Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Anyone that struggling with luke warm heating like i was over last winter...Under the bonnet going through the bulkhead are 2 pipes .....

PMSL! Quote

StarletMad Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 No normally all over the front of your t shirt Quote
Turbo Goose Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Mine are sort of warm after 10 mins then like 25 mins they pop out some heat, bit weird as after the car reaches normal runnin temp it still takes a further 10 mines or so to get red hot Quote
