  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Greetings all,

Hoping I might be able to get a little bit of help from everyone. I have a 2021 G90, and at idle the car has no heat. The vehicle can be fully warmed up and the heat is cold at idle. I don't get heat until I push the gas pedal and get the engine to about 1250RPMs. At that point the heat is warm. I have had my nearby dealership take a look at the vehicle several times and they were not helpful at all. They have validated that it is not due to a coolant leak of any kind (I don't smell coolant either). The previous time it was in they tried to drain air bubbles out of the cooling loop. I thought this had worked at the time (it was a much warmer day), but the problem is still there. Does anyone have any thoughts about where I can go with this next? I love the car, but it is very frustrating to be cold sitting in a 75k luxury car.
 
And now I have a new update. As had been posted by another user in this thread: Remote Start in the Cold, I tested to see if there would be any changes with different fan settings. What I found was that as the other user stated, as long as the fan speed was 6 or below, the heat works. Now here is the more interesting part. When I turn the fan speed all the way back to high, the air turns cold. Something I did not notice before though was that the back vents stay hot. Only the heat up front turns cold.

Why do you set the fan speed? I set the temperature, press "AUTO" and never touch anything.
 
Not to be a smarty pants, but I usually have to set thermostat at 73 or higher. Also, try closing the air intake for a bit. The recycling warms up faster. I'm sure you know all of this.
