Re: Long to warm up

well its about -5 here and my car (99 plymouth neon) heats up within about a mile and has good heat.

you might try blocking off some of your rad with something?

like what they do on dump trucks and school buses in the cold weather. little 4 bangers arent always the best as staying warm.

if you do make sure to keep an eye on the heat gauge and dont let it get too high.

you could try putting cardboard over a portion of your rad like say 1/4 and if that doesnt work maybe 1/2 at most.

also sometimes if you put the heat at the highest it doesnt always come out that warm. usually you have to leave it about 3/4 power to get good heat.
