Mom drives a 1997 Saturn SL1.
Last winter it had great heat. Once Warned up, temp guage was solid at 1/2. Over the summer, the radiator died. Replaced with brand new. I also replaced the thermostat with a standard replacement. Now, the temp guage only barely gets to 3/8, and it isn't hot enough to make good heat here in MN. Help Please? |

Check the coolant level. Coolant could be low and not able to circulate through the heater core. Also I think if the T stat fails it fails in the open position. This would prevent the engine from warming properly.
