Jim< while I am not that familiar with the wasserboxer setup, a common source of a cold interior is a faulty, plugged heater core matrix. If you can be reasonably sure that the coolant is reaching operating temperature (check with a thermostat -perhaps) and you are still not getting enough interior heat, perhaps the core itself is at fault. What we do up here is cover the grille area (cardboard etc) but I have no idea what effect this would have with the engine at the back; another choice would be to go with a thermostat that opens at say 87 or 85 instead of the usual 80 C. -- DC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Carment School of International Affairs Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 voice - (613) 788-2600-6662 fax - (613) 788-2889 Email address: dcarment@ccs.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------
