Hi
I don't know where you are or your outside temperatures, but I live in Thunder Bay Ontario. With serious winter, although the coldest this year has been -25C.

I had the same symptoms as you described; changing the thermostat did the trick -and now i have toasty warm heat. Volvo themostats are designed with the default setting on failure as "open". That's why you only get a little heat, and you don't get overheating.
The replacement volvo thermostat is relatively expensive: about C$25, compared to about C$10 for a generic thermostat to fit GM/Ford etc.

Good luck
Duncantee
