We just had the thermostat replaced a couple months ago. It is much better than it was with a dead thermostat, maybe the comparison with our previous vehicle, a 2005 Civic with half the kilometers, is an unfair comparison.

Thanks for the tip on the underside - I think I'll wait until after the -20 weather to take a look at what can be done.

Thanks!
