Hiya,
I've had an 96 A4 Avant for a couple of years and one problem has never been totally ironed out.. Even when I'm on a long run the heater only blows through luke warm (i've got climate control btw) The car itself runs great but the operating temp when moving, even at motorway speeds shows no more than 60 c, when in traffic this rises to no more than 80 c. I've noticed the heat comes through a little better when the temp is higher but still not what you'd call hot. Could it be the heater matrix or a thermostat?? Help i'm freezin'!! :confused: :confused:

Cheers Andy I'll get down my dealer asap! Is the stat something I could fit easily myself or is it best to have it fitted by a mechanic? And if you could give me a clue as to where the stat is located that'd be great.. Cheers..John
