Funky 86 Heating Issue?
I have a 2017 86 860 Special Edition (like a limited), with 15k. It was a dealer lot princess for 3 years gaining 8k miles as a loaner of sorts.
Usually at 70 degrees I'm sweating my butt off in this car. Usually have to open a window or turn to defrost + floor heat to make that happy medium. I had just stopped for a coffee a short distance from my house and was switching the controls. Noticed it seemed to blow different but ignored it. Driving home on a cold day a few days later noticed NO AIR or HEAT coming to the floor. I always use manual settings and even at full heat and full fan, there was nothing. Ok made an appointment with the dealer.
Dropped car off at dealer, they found nothing wrong after having it in the shop maybe 30 minutes. It was working fine apparently. Talking with the tech and the advisor, they said they let it warm up and it worked normally. I was thinking maybe a blend door froze up just right or something similar and happened to dethaw in the warm shop.
But having paid diag for nothing and still noticing an issue, I'm at a loss. The heat works yes, it blows yes. But neither is as powerful as before on the floor setting, and I'm turning up the heat more than before. I'd say both are at like 80%. I'm happy it works decently, but upset I've had it 10months and the dealer says its fine. Various threads here have varied between the heat in these being weirdly cold on the floor or boiling like older Toyota's.
Does anyone have any idea what I can look for or similar issues they found fixes for? I'm going to check the coolant this morning to make sure its in the proper place, but with the mileage and history I'm not sure where to start. I havent seen any posts on a issue quite like mine.
Thanks!
