Hot Air Through The Vent

[Mikyel]

hey all..

i got r34gtt just did full leather interior including the dash, and removing the air con control unit in the glovebox..

now im getting warm air through all the vent, not the driver side cause it now has guage on it..

also all the foot well (underneath the dash)..

not sure why is this happening, anyone has same experience or any idea..

there is a vent that goes outside to get fresh air, instead of recycling from inside the car, most likely coming from there.

is it something stuck which makes it open.. any idea where about is this vent or how i close it..

[br3ndan]

im pretty sure its the button with the arrow going in a circle, that will close off any air coming in from the outside...

but hey, it can b free heating since winter coming up!

[Mikyel]

i try the button on and off.. still the same..

dont mind the free heating but scared car caught on fire or something.. its possible isnt it..

the climate control unit should have a vent somewhere to read the cabin temp, if that isnt plugged in, all they do is blow hot air until you turn it down to 18 deg.

so turn it all the way down as cold as it can get with air con on, if only then you get cold air - check the cabin temp sensor is plugged in.

ah.. might check that tommorrow..

thanks

yea i played around with mine today

i found that if i turned up the temp from 18 to say 26/27 i had hot air coming thru the vent, however when i turned it down to 18 the hot air stopped.. THis is with the air con off... just the fan on if you get me...

I think when u turn it down to 18, it closes off the heater hoses... so u dont get any hot air coming in.

Do you get me?

I think if u leave it at 26 or so, and even if the air con/fan is off... the vent from the heater hose is still open... So try turning it down to 18 and turn off the aircon/fan and see if u still got hot air coming out....
