Draft anyone?

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Draft anyone?

Post by mitch »

Getting a draft in the area off my left hand on the shifter and the left side of my butt while driving in the cold.. some is coming thru the e-brake, but also from the front somewhere. I've checked to make sure the engine cover is totally closed...

Anyone else?

solution?

i thought that once, mine actually turned out to be a low draft from the back of the van, turned on the rear heater and no more cold draft :D

yeah, i'm getting a draft from the back of my left shoulder as well, especially on the highway, and even with the rear heat on to, where the hell is it coming from??

Me as well, I cant figure out where it comes from either. At least it seems like a normal thing.

cold air in the back of the van i swear my left small toe on it, i spent weeks trying to figure it out.
and it only happens sometimes its only when an air mass shifts so if you got the front heaters on and your cruisin around on the flats then you go down a hill presto your hot air goes to the back and you get a nice cool breeze in the fronte'

the hot air only comes out of the bottom superduper recirculater
AC only out the top

cheers :wink:

I'm sometimes getting that cold draft at the shoulder, but it's ususally due to my kid monkeying with the controls before he jumps up in his seat. :roll:

As MaxPowers says, the most likely cause of cold air drafts is generally during the winter/colder weather.

If you have the front heater on and driving for a while, the front cab gets nice & toasty & warm. :D :D

If the rear heater is off, the cold air in the back stays just that - cold!

Hit the brakes and all that cool air dumps itself in your lap and you regret forgetting to turn the rear heater on! :evil:

If the rear fan IS on - it only blows warm air when set to 'feet'. The overhead function is clod air only! :?
