Hey guys,
Before anything else, I've already searched several forums and what I'm experiencing is different from all the other "heater issues" that come up.
I have an 03 Forester and I've noticed ever since I got the car last year that my heat goes weak after driving the vehicle for some time. Unless I turn the temp dial all the way to 30, then I get full heat.
I tried to burp the cooling system, flushed the heater core, checked the blend door, replaced hvac controls, but still the problem exists.
I kinda find this issue weird because I know most of the people that are having heater problems don't get heat off the bat or even any heat at all. On mine when the vehicle first starts up and goes to it's operating temperature, the heat is good and I have no complaints. Then I drive around for 20-30mins and then the heat slowly fades away, I turn the temp dial all the way to max to get the heat back. But of course I don't want full heat all the time. Btw, I have the auto climate control.
I'm sorry for the long post, just thought I'd share my issue and maybe somebody can shed some light on this.
Thanks!
