Heaters blowing air
« on: March 16, 2016, 07:32:02 pm »
So, I'm a little perplexed at this one.
Noticed for a while now that even when I haven't got th fans on (vents still open), air is still blowing out the vents.
Is this meant to happen ... I know obviously the vents are still open, but didn't think the air would circulate through them still if the actual heater isn't on.

I get this too.

It's normally hot air as well so can be quite annoying on a hot summers day.

I get this is mine too, gets really hot in the car even when the heater is off. I assumed it was just air coming in as the fan must still get air through it from driving?

Mines the same, if its too hot you can turn the temp down to cold and then turn it off again.

Or close the vents  :grin:
