That is with aircon (and blower) off ? Pretty normal, my Astra does the same and so does the wife's Peugeot.
Hi All, I've a 2012 Opel Astra Sport (J Series) and despite the temp controls set to lowest level the air that enters the car appears to be quite warm. Too warm to be normal...and the outside temp is about 15C. So what could be causing this? Any help/suggestions welcome. Preferably something that I can fix/alter without going to Holden.
Thank you...
Steve

I have the J as well, seems normal to me. If I don't like it, I switch on the air recirculation so that the air from outside (getting heated by the engine) does not come into the cabin.

My sister had an Astra and I found this inability to separate the air properly like every other car I've experienced, including my Corsarina, to be quite weird and a tad off-putting. So I can relate to your instincts @smart770
Currently I've got the opposite problem: not enough heat from the heater. When I first got my car about 5 years ago, the heater was a furnace. Now it's not even lukewarm. Anyone got theories on that? Heater core busted? Personally it frustrates me that more cars don't have electric heaters or electrically-boosted heaters to prevent that chilly warmup lag which is especially difficult when trying to defrost the windscreen.
