Hi All,
Now in the colder months in Australia I have noticed that my 1995, 1.5
litre, 4 Door, EG, Honda Civic heater takes quite a while to get hot.
Is this normal, and is there anything I can do to help the heater warm
up sooner. I have notice that the temp gauge wont move from cold until
at least 10mins worth of driving (not that I dont mind the car running
cool but I keep freezing in the morning)
Regards,
Michael.

With the temps reaching 95+(F) today it is hard
to think that someone esle is freezing.

My 1991 1.5 Civic takes aboiut that time to start blowing hot air.
On rally cold, below 20F (~-10C) I let the car idle for 5 miniutes or
so.
More of a ssafety issue, I am not willing to drive with frost on the
inside of the windshield. I change the oil more freqeuently at 2/3
the suggested milage.
