I have 2 ea's and they are both doing the same thing, turn the heater on anything past 1 or 2 and you get cold air, with the fan on low you get some warm air but nowhere near enough, is this a common problem, what could be wrong?
thanks

Sounds like the heater core isn't getting hot enough. Blocked core, blend door not working or faulty heater tap.

Also does the engine run at the right temp?

Try flushing it first. I did mine a couple of months ago, heater works great now. might save you a heap of money, & time

I flushed out the heater core earlier this year when I replaced the tap on my car because I had no heat at all for quite some time due to a jammed heater tap, I also replaced the heater hoses as well.
