which 
the 
calcaire 

look at the heater control valve (usually located on the firewall at the
back of the engine compartment. it will have 2 heater hoses connected to it
approx 18mm in diameter). it connects by cable to the temperature selector
on the dash. if this valve is not openening all the way it will not allow
hot water to pass into the heater box. you might try to disconnect the cable
and open/close it by hand to verify. this valve is often less than $35.US.
some (1-2 litres) coolant may be lost in changing out the valve. use caution
when the engine coolant temperature is high; you will get burned by hot
coolant!

when this valve goes bad in the summer it will usually not close fully,
allowing hot water to continually circulate into the heater box which
increases the temp of the air in the cabin.

sometimes you can eliminate the entire valve by replacing it w/ a similar
sized peice of tubing, but this will cause the cabin air temp to be at the
warmest temperature all the time.

this is a very bad week to have such troubles in Quebec!

good luck-
