   Hi guys after using the car today it seems tho the engine is getting warm pretty quickly and the heater blows out very hot air pretty quick too.
   Had the cold one on but seemed to blow warm then after about a 20mins driving it the cold one then did blow pretty cold air out.
   
   Any solutions guys? Thanks

   So the car blows hot air at first even on cold but After a few mins of driving it does blow cold?
   Sounds normal tbh, mine would blow sort of warm air on cold if I was stood still, I'd only get proper cold air when actually driving!
   Just down to the basic heater system used in the saxos id say

   Ye. I always thought the car wouldn't blow hot air until cars warmed up but mine seems to blow hot air pretty quickly?

   Yeah mine used to as well! Small engine I guess so they warm up quick!
   Used to love it though, after sat on idle for 5mins I'd have nice hot air, great in winter!

   As long as the needle doesn't go into the red and the fan also cuts in when it should,then I wouldn't worry too much.

   Your entire car is hot so takes a while for the fan to cool it down a bit. It's even more obvious with a black car.
