[s-cars] No Heat at Idle?

[Brent Henry]

Sean, Mark,

Once the freezing rain stops (its really ugly today in Toronto), I will
connect the VAG-COM and checkout those readings.  I'm just wondering if the
heater channel goes cold at idle, wouldn't the coolant temp gauge also drop
while at idle?  My coolant temp gauge does not drop when the car is idling.

Brent.
