I happen to have a gen2....but have run into a few things with the heat.

First of all......check the temperature gauge......if the car is hot and you have no hot air.......the problem is not related to the thermostat.

If you are talking about how long it takes the car to get heat when you first start it in the winter......5 minutes in freezing weather to get very warm is not unheard of. My Gen2 can take 5 minutes from start to running around for decent heat to show up.

The last possibility is the controls are screwed up. For a while the control for heat was getting stuck. I needed to push the dial from cold to hot to free things up.

At this point the last setting on the heat control is burned out. I have to move the slide bar a touch to the left for heat otherwise cold air comes out when the bar is all the way right.

Any or none of the above could be your problem.

Good luck.
