Third question of the day
one these cold mornings, i start the car ( the heater temp wheels on the dash are say set to 24 deg control set to auto)
If i drive off straight away it seems to take maybe 30 seconds or maybe a tad longer before the sensors realise its cold and the kick the blower up to full speed from its starting position of about a third of full fan speed.
The heater works well and reaches the correct temp and fan speed settles doen as the cabin warms as it should, it just seems to be a bit of a lag before it kicks in.
I have tried the bit of paper over the intake near the instrument binnacle and the stays put under suction so guess thats OK , maybe it because its so cold lately ?

Thats normal too,, it takes an time for the system to work out the temp, and set the fans accordingly
