Hello, Group !
My wife started complaining about the heater in her Eclipse....said it doesn't stay warm....
Now, in the past, I've found that the V6 produces PLENTY of heat...too much, in fact ...so I figured she was just whining because she's sick of winter.
I've driven the car the past few days, and she has a point...the heater seems to run fine when at speed or accelerating, but when you come to a stop, you can immediately feel the temp from the air vents drop off...can get down right cool if the traffic signal timing is long enough. I note the thermostat reading does NOT fluctuate...holds pretty steady....it's like it's something inside the car that's screwing up the flow of hot water to and from the engine.
Any suggestions on what to check, or should I turn it over to the hacks at the local Mitsu dealer ?
Dean....
