Little heat

Here in the Chicago area its a balmy 10 degrees. The air blows strong in my S60 but I get luke warm heat at best in this weather. Sitting at a stop light I loose all warm air.

Solution to this challenge?

sounds like your heating core is shot but typically when that occurs you would lose a bit of coolant as well.

any slightly sweet smell when you loose heat?

No smell at all. I did have a message a couple of months ago that the coolant was low. It took literally a half cup to full it up. Its still at the same level.

Maybe a stuck T-stat?
