hi all
in cold weather, was wondering where the needle should be sitting on the temperature guage in your EF/EL fairmont/falcons. Mine seems to never get past 'a'.. even after a good run to the city from keilor (25k's). btw.. have recently replaced thermostat with a new 92*C one in an attempt to fix heater (didnt work lol.. heater still blows warmish air even on max).. |

What mode do you have it in cos if you have it in face and floor it will blow hot air to your feet and cool air to your face.
I read somewhere that it does that to prevent hot air from making you drowsy blowing directly on your face. Not sure if thats true but it makes sense. I usually put mine on screen/floor as this flows warm from both. |

um the air is never really hot.. regardless of the mode. When its on face/floor, cold air to face and lukewarm air to the floor, regardless of engine temp..

My air con packed it in years ago, but after the bad boy was lowered a month or so ago the air con has been blowing hot air onto the windscreen and it made me very drowsey on a trip down to Goulburn.
It was a bit freaky, but nothing that can't be cured with a lowered window.

Mine sits just above the A in winter and summer. Nearly burnt my bloody hand in front of it this morning.

Dunno what it is in degrees but it usually sits on the A in average Brisbane temps. Willowbank the other night was 15 not long before I left and the needle stayed below the L the whole trip home.
