Hey guys

This has been bothering me for a while, but coming into summer, I'd like to get it ironed out.

Not always, but quite frequently when i drive, HOT air seems to pour out of the small hoses located above your feet behind the dash. (Basically if you've got your left foot on the foot rest or clutch, its going to get warm fast).

The problem only occurs when the a/c is off, and if i turn it on, it seems to stop. Had a passanger yesterday that wasn't too impressed when her shoes nearly caught fire!

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Does it happen when the climate control is on or off? When I had the CC off completely I would get hot air coming through but if I turned it on(without A/C) it would try to keep it at whatever temp was set-no more melty feet for me :)

Check the sensors.

Do the air-con diagnostic and it will tell you if something is wrong.

Most likely the outside air temp sensor is fux0red.

Thanks for that mate, how do you actually run the diagnostic?

I've actually got this problem too. Only started to notice it after I'd taken my car in to get tuned, so naturally I thought they must have done something wrong. Thanks for the solution guys! (He he, shoes catching on fire, not good!)

"Mmmm, unexplained bacon."

    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event. 
    • Hi Cody, If you are looking for a simple "bolt in bolt out" solution, I may be able to help via trade. I'm swapping my auto RS4V from stock subframe to a reinforced S14 Rear subframe specifically for track duty. I was looking into different rear core options while the car was in air and I found your thread.   My VLSD rear is freshly changed fluid/inspected. I will say even with Redline diff fluid it is still not as aggressive as I would like with the "sports" viscous core, and coming from a heavily modded evo with full drivetrain I'm looking for a bit more rotation with the throttle.  I second this, the polyurethane bushings are pretty aggressive as is.  If you're interested in the trade, I am driving out to Chicago in September for a time attack event. I could swing by and make the trade somewhere Sept 12-13th or 15-16th if you are interested and you have not already solved this issue yourself. 
    • No, the panel filter is the standard dry one. Yes, I did clean the AFM with electrical contact cleaner.
    • Or shift gently. While the risk goes up as the power/torque does, not everyone breaks gearboxes.
