Another Heating Problem

[Berkswolf]

Not seen this one before. On the passenger side footwell there seems to be two vents. One is on the right hand side of the centre consol, the other seems to come down directly from the top. The one at the side is fine and blows warm air once up to temperature. The other one which blows directly downwood is constantly freezing cold. It seems to be bringing in air directly from the outside, not via the heater, but the amount of air coming in does increase or decrease with the heater blower speed. Any ideas?

There should be piece that slots into the bottom the top vent, this is where the cabin filter is!

Ah I see, thanks mate. A feel around revealed the filter in place but no cover. I will try and source one.

Blimey! £54 for the part from Chrysler. Not ordered yet I will try breakers first

I was lucky, mine had fallen off but I found it under the passenger seat.

Duct Tape!

Put the filter in first, obviously.

80p a length, enough for 6 new filter covers

Thanks guys. I have covered it with duct tape as per BigNev's suggestion, which I already had, so no cost at all! If it comes off too much I will try QuinteQ's idea. You don't have shares in the insulation company do you QuinteQ?. I've already used some for another of your fixes on the rad grill. Any other places to use it?

Did the job for me perfectly as I had the same issue!
