I am in Siberia, Russia with a 2004 Toyota Corolla. It blows heat but not much. The temperature gage shows normal operating temperatures. The defroster is a real problem. It only defrosts 1/3 of the windshield when temps are below -20C. At -30C with 4 passengers, there's only about 20% of the windshield defrosted. Heater does not do a good job of warming either. I almost had frostbite after a recent 200km drive in -35C temps.

Toyota Corolla 2 Litre diesel. Why loss of power at low revs when warm?

Sounds like piston blow by, as the gap increases and diesels have such high compression. When the turbo kicks in, the pressure is restored.

96 s-10. Temperature gage shows normal temp. Heater blows only COLD air. Can you help?

Check the heater hoses at the engine firewall are they hot? If so then the air temperature control blend door is either jammed or the motor that operates it is defective or both.
