Guys the car heater works fine in town
In town water is at mid point
On motorway it can drop to stone cold
Not tried heater on motorway

Is this a classic stat issue or worse ?

It's a 2008 4.8 Cayenne

I would think so. Is there an electric stat on these? - If it's a conventional one, I'd change it.
