I have a 2001 Beetle 1.8T engine.
Here in Illinois the cold weather has come and I noticed something weird in the car:
when driving the car, it takes a long time to warm up. My commute is 10 miles and in the morning the cold engine light (the blue one) was on for all the route. Coming back it took 8 miles before it went away. I never remember such behavior, usually it would go away fairly quickly.
In addition to that, the air in the cab never got really warm, even if I I kept the fan full blast to the warmest setting.
How is the cab air warmed up?
What issue do you believe I have?
Thanks
