This thread is for the wife's blue svo. I replaced the 180 degree thermostat that was installed in the motor with a 195 one and it still only produces very little heat at all. I first did a flush before removing the old thermostat and all hoses appear fine as does the waterpump. I drained the flush material and flushed with water 2 more times. The radiator is a 2 core and I believe the cap is holding pressure. Refilled the system with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and deionized water and now the car runs in the "a" range of "normal where as before is was more in the "r" range.
Going up north for work after the 1st and would like heat for our Canadian winter.
