Hey I just bought a relatively low mileage EP3 (149k km) and car is as expected so far except that it doesn't warm up all the way.
Like if the temp gauge would be from 0 to 100 with 50 in the middle being the optimal, the car doesn't warm up past 35-40, in the same boat the heater works and blows warm but not as warm as any other car I've been in.
So just a faulty thermostat most likely, anyone else had this issue? I tried googling and surprisingly came up short handed.
EDIT: New symptom the engine temp tanks almost all the way to the low mark during hard accel going WOT.
