I`m having problems with my heater on the initial start from cold taking time before the hot air start blowing and it feels like aicon in the begining tho the light is lid on off position.It would take about 20-25 min for the hot air to come.I`m thinking it might be a cabin temp sensor but might be wrong.Anyone else had this problem?

Stuck thermostat, stopping warm coolant getting to the heater matrix?

Heater pipes are hot mate and the stat is new.You can smell that aircon air coming in when its not heating.Thinking the cabin temp sensor is clogged up but not 100% on that.

Take the fuse out for the air con, and make sure the clutch is disengaging on the compressor.

As what others have said but try removing and cleaning the sensor just to the right of the radio unit in the dash....you have to slide out the radio so you can get your fingers behind and push it out....probably it`s full of fluff!

Good idea mate.

Sprayed a contact cleaner cos as u said it was full of fluff on the sensor wire.Will give it a go shortly.

Could be the matrix has scaled up, try a descaler in it.
