My sebring convertible takes a very long time to warm up in the morning. I can let it sit for quite a long time and no hot air comes out until I start driving. The radiator is full of fluid so that is not the issue.
So, would one of those heaters inserted into a radiator hose fix me up or should I be looking for another solution?
Thanks, Dave
Put the top up. Only kidding. Are you sure the thermostat is working properly? Also, there might be an air bubble in the heater core. I have had that in several previous cars. In the group you might find the air-bleed procedure to make sure the heater core is always filled with hot fluid. Doesn't seem to me you would need an auxiliary heat source.... Good luck.

morning.

issue.
How long is a very long time? Could be a thermostat... Definatley worth swapping in a new one before you go to far trying to fix the issue.

The 2.7L is notorious for not warming up the cabin during a static idle warmup. Newer vehicles will have a feature in the software to raise the idle while parked to help with this.
