I have a 2013 connect, the van takes for ever to heat up.

i can start it in the morning, and in about 10-15 min the temp gauge is in the normal center position, but the heat is luke warm, I can drive it about 10 min to work, and the heat is a bit warmer, but still not as it should be.

I can park it for 5 min and then drive it again and the heat is pleasant by then.

Is this the nature of the system ? I've had smaller cars ( Geo Metro 3 cyl ) that heated up way faster.

 

At work we had a 2015  F550 truck that had weak heat as well, but if you reved the engine hard 1 or 2 times it heated up fine, but if you were at a stop light or such, the heat got cold again.. The dealership futzed with it over a year before they got it fixed

I never did find out what it'd issue was.

 

Any tips i can try to get the heat working in my van better?

it's only got 42K on it, and all fluids are up to level and clean still. so i highly doubt there's any clog in the heater core.

I'm thinking it''s either bad circulation or a air bubble in the system, if so, how do i burp it out ?
