Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / January 20041990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 3.1L
Had this car almost a year, and now that it's winter I've noticed that the car doesn't put out very much heat, even on full blast. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of air moving, it's just not hot air. I was on a 6 hour road trip the other night, in -40 weather, and I about froze to death. Any suggestions? 40 below!!! First suggestion: move south, way south. Before you move you should check to make sure you have plenty of coolant and it is the correct mix for your arctic conditions. You might also make sure you have a thermostat, it is the correct one, and is not stuck open. > Had this car almost a year, and now that it's winter I've noticed that the > car doesn't put out very much heat, even on full blast.

Thanks for the input, I had already planned to check the thermostat first thing in the morning. -Rob > 40 below!!!

If I had listened to you, sir, I would not have rode around the city all day today toasty as can be. The $10 part fixed the problem, and as you said was very simply to change. It took probably 60 seconds. =) > >Thanks for the input, I had already planned to check the thermostat first > >thing in the morning.
