hi list,
just a curiosity issue here. i =
always assumed
that turning on the heater would help an about to overheat engine cool
down. the idea being that coolant will be further cooled down by =
being
passed thru the heater core. well, i also had this other thought, =
that
maybe possibly, there is some counter effect by the extra stress caused =
to the
engine by the electrical needs of the heater blower, ie the engine has =
to work
harder to run the electrical motor, and thus get a little hotter. =
my
intuition says that the cooling effect will probably outweight the =
heating
effect. any other opinions on this?
