krnau 0 Posted October 16, 2008 This has been a mistery since I bought my car last year. Some times, hot air comes in through passenger's side, but I can't find where it comes from :confused4: It doesn't matter if heater is activated, or if it is not :confused4: (by the way, it also came in when the heater matrix was unplugged...) Could it be that when engine is hot, the air comes in through the heater foliage cover?? :brickwall: Has this happened to anyone? Maybe you know where to look at. I have spent hours and hours and hours looking for a hole in the wall (that could be letting in some air...).... but I can't find it! I can appreciate the heater matrix smelling in this hot air, but only sometimes.... this is really annoying :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: Last night I had a look at the heater box (is it called as this?), and I could see some kind of "hatch" which was supposed to let air in or not. But it opens and coses itself whenever it wants; I mean, by scrolling the heater controls, it doesn't open / close. It seems to be doing this arbitrarily :shrug: I also saw some kind of "grid" under the heater box. Depending on the "hatch"'s position, lets air in the box, but I think this air could also pass through the grid (without going through the heater box), as there isn't any kind of cover under this grid.... Yes I know my English is so difficult to understand :pale: I hope someone helps me, because I can't imagine another summer with this hot air coming in...

It seems to be doing this arbitrarily :shrug: I only have this problem you're having. The scrolls dont stop the air coming through nor allow more air coming through. However the dial to change the direction of air on my heater controls are knackered so maybe thats why. Do your heater controls work ok? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do your heater controls work ok? yes, they do, if by this you mean I han send the air to the body, feet, widescreen ect. The problem is that the "door" of the foliage cover is always, at least, half open (I broke it one day :lol:), so there is always some air coming in. But I am not sure if this is the source of my hot air... because in LHD (I am not sure if in RHD is the same) the heater box is on the right, and the foliage cover too. Maybe you have both on the left? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
