Default Heating

Okay, i want to make sure im not the only one with this problem... its been a bit nippy out here in tx (30-40) last week or so, and i start up the car in the morning and let it run for about 30 secs with the heat off, when i get ready to go, i turn the heat on, and cold air comes out for like 4-5 mins until the hot stuff comes, but dont get me wrong... when the actuall heat is on, it works flawlessly. but, does it take all you guys this long for the heat to come?

I'd say about 2 min for warm, 5 for hot.

I am assuming you realize that the heat in your car comes from the heated water (coolant) in your motor. When it's cold your motor has to heat up the water before the heat begins to pump. Cold motor = no heat.

I assume you know it is not a good idea to run your car in the garage.

It isnt too bad if the exhaust pipes are facing out of the garage with the door open.
