Cold Air behind Radio.
« on: 01 November 2009, 19:31:10 »
Is it normal to have cold air blowing behind the Radio?, even though the heaters on.

Facelift ex plod with a big hole where the radio should be.

Quite often they remove the plastic duct that runs from below the radio and down past the handbrake.....could be this.

 That's probably the one that connects to the back of the Glovebox for the chiller :).

Some pics of where the cold air is comming (blowing) from, the rubber pipe pointing directly at the back of where the radio should be. should it be connected to something else?. Any thoughts.

Pic 2, no warm/ cold air arround for the rear passingers, but its been well messed with by the Met.
