GTA/A610 Ventilation

Postby mettersl » Fri Oct 28, 2005 12:19 pm

Hi,
Judging by the previous threads, it's an accepted fact that heating and ventilation (for the Cabin) is not a strong feature of the GTA and A610 (as well as needing the cooling systems in good condition for the engine).

I guess we all have noticed that if you leave the windows open a little, you get better output from the heater/cooling- like most older cars- or maybe there is something blocked on my A610.

My other car passion is Saabs (but I'm under treatment) and they have always made a feature of having air outlets as well as air inlets in their cars.

Does anyone know if there is a cabin air out vent (I've had a scrabble around but coudn't see anything) and if not, has anone tried putting one in?

I'm considering putting a vent through the rear bulkhead and ducting it through to behind the rear grille. I think I can see a route that doesn't involve too much structural damage, or risk exhaust gas or heat back into the cabin. Before I do this, are there any proven solutions out there (other than leaving the window open.....)

Suggestions please?

I'd always assumed that was what the little grilles on the rear edge of the door pocket and door were there for.
