no heat when idleing
my heater does not heat when the car is just idleing, why is this?
I have automatic climate control on my car which was set to 85 degrees, and it was sitting there for about 20 minutes.

I have the same problem. It is only when the car is just sitting, when I drive I get heat. Can anyone help?
Thanks!!

Is this after you start the car cold, on a cold morning? Or do you lose heat when you stop after the car is already fully warmed up?

I had an old Cadillac that did just the opposite......heat at idle but no heat when moving. I was a bad heater control valve. Don't know if the Max uses something similiar but it might be worth investigating.

Check your coolant lever first.

so was it the collant level?
i am having the same problem now...
when idling for about the length of a stop light time, my hot air turns cold. If i rev it to 1.5k - 2k, it gets super warm again...
everyone thinks it's the coolant level?
I checked mine this morning and it was to the top. (just to be sure)
I simply pop open that metal cap right in front of the car under the hood... and see if i see fluid right? It was to the top for me...
maybe it needs replacing?
