I suspect my mechanic connected a water hose in the wrong place, maybe you can verify : (talking about my zx volcan 1.9) in the right side of the engine there is a plastic cover of the thermostat. it had a crack and was replaced. the cover has 2 holes : 1 for incoming water from radiator the other one is unused and sealed. below the cover , from the engine body, ther is an exit for water to the comartment heating (hot air). my question is : shouldn´t the hose for the copmartment heating be connected to the currently unused exit of the plastic cover ? last winter I had great heating after 2-3 minutes driving, now , after replacing the cover, even when the engine temp gets to around 90c, the air is not hot enough ,only after about 15 minutes it gets hotter. I suspect that the water for the heating are mistakingly coming from the thermostat, which means you will get full flow only after a while when the engine is realy hot, and the thermostat is wide open. can you check in your volcan where it is connected to ?
