This is all in Celsius.

The guy is complaining there's not enough heat at -13C. (8F)

Yet at the end, he's show's he's sucking in outside air and not using re-circulation.


Nice one... nice.

there actually is a bulletin for these cars not producing enough heat. It is not a fault.


If there are no DTCs, the engine coolant level is correct and the thermostat is diagnosed as operating correctly, then the comment of the engine is slow to reach normal coolant operating temperatures should be considered as a normal operating condition of these energy efficient engines in cold ambient temperatures.

It's normal for energy efficient engines to be slow to warm up? How so if you don't mind me asking?

I don't have a time for you. If your not getting heat, check your coolant level.
the car will set a p0128 dtc is the car is not coming to temp fast enough. The ecm knows the initial start up coolant temp and knows that the coolant temp should be at a set point within a determined run time. if its not, it will set a dtc.
