Jack_is_Back Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 No. I don't understand the point of it actually. Does it do anything useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxfordlad Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Not 100% sure myself, other than that part of the screen can get a little steamy sometimes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_Driver Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 If you set the Air-Con to Auto then it is recommended that you just open the upper middle vent and close the vents above the radio as it is supposed to help maintain a consistent temperature without the need to freeze your hands off. If it is stiff then the whole assembly is easy to take apart and loosen up - just clip off the sensor that is in front towards the windscreen and then take out a few torque screws and the vent clips away to reveal the flap underneath, from there you will figure out what to do. Just make sure you do not lose the screws into the air-con duct cause then you are fecked. If you search back last year for the instructions on how to fit the Dension iPod kit then it has details on how to take apart this area.

oxfordlad Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I have taken it apart a few times now as I fitted the VW ipod lead myself, however its always been stiff. I will have anothe rlook when I get the chance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Gee....I didn't even realise after 1 year and 15,000 miles that there even was a vent there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xscreamsuk Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I found mine a week ago, and much more sir os directed through the vents above the stereo. I think it cools the car faster in this weather with the vents open. with it closed I get more airflow directed at the screen area, fine in normal temps.

RedRobin Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Been out in mine tonight and had no probs whatsoever with operating the top vent. petsy > As usual, you got it in one! Talking about Millteks you are going to be so envious of what I'm expecting and hoping to post soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petsy Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Do I sniff that you've got your Carbonio Intake fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Not yet! Carbonio has been tracked at last and is expected by this time next week for dealer to fit the week after. No, you're off the scent. A clue is that it involves a fast....Nah, I don't think I should give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
