Wouldn't a car of this vintage used the blue G11 coolant?

The blue G11 was used up to MY '96. Pink(G12) and purple(G12+) replaced it for MY 97-current.

But by all means, let us know what your diagnostics say (if anything) regarding your feeble heat. I've concluded that my core requires replacing, but I'd LOVE to see a diagnosis of something else that might be restricting the FLOW.

I see.
Well, I´m going to do rosstech diagnostics. Just thought someone had a tip on what to look for, like for example typical failing sensors or flaps.
I´ll try search up your other treads.
