Winter has come to NY now, and with my heat cranked all the way up and my heated seats on, and the wearing of a jacket, I still feel cold. Is there anyway to modify the heater to produce more heat?

maybe you need to increase your Iron intake. start taking multi-vitamins, that should cure your symptoms of anemia right up.

if your still having problems, you might have a heater core problem that could only be solved by testing it, and possibly replacing it. when is the last time you have done a coolent flush?

Your air mixture door may also be malfunctioning or blocked. Slickroger posted a couple of pictures of how to diagnose the air mixture door in the 'NO HEAT' thread. I would suggest starting there, it only takes a few minutes to check.

Also, try using recirculate.

are u letting it warm up all the way? lukewarm air could be a bad thing. like if for some reason your thermostat was bad and the engine is not getting up to temp. my QX4 heater gets way too hot i cant even use it on full heat cause your face will start to melt.

Swap out your turtleneck with a sweater-vest. You'll be set!

My heat is unbearable once the engine heats up enough obviously. You probably just think you shouldnt have to wait?
