Suzuki Alto heater anyone?

Hello lovely MSE-ers:D

We've just bought a lovely 2003 Suzuki Alto - £30 a year tax, bonus.

Now being a Ford or Vauxhall family, Suzukis are new to us so this might sound like a daft question, but as we didn't get a manual with it, MSE was my first port of call.

Basically when you have the heater on the lowest setting, it goes really hot. When you turn it up to the highest setting (eg, to unsteam the windows) it changes from hot to lukewarm almost immediately. Is this normal or does it suggest something is wrong with it?
The coolant is fine and it had a fresh MOT put on it last week with nothing in the advisories.

thanks x

  • Has the facia plate on the heater been removed at anytime and put back in reverse, ie blue where red should be and red where blue should be?
