I notice in mine that if i have the position to the feet area its noticably warmer but so I leave mine in defrost while off to keep the toes from frying

 

Your stating like yours is really bad...when I turn mine to the last blue, it isn't bad. If it's all the way red, it's hot as hell since the Engine heat will come into the cabin.

Try turning your knob all the way to A/C, it should close the vents from engine to Cabin. Mine does anyway...The Evo A/C sucks. My 03 8 sucked and my 9 sucks. You have to wait a little before it will cools the entire Cabin down and start feeling it. Also if you start driving it will cool down faster.

 

Question: I've heard that turning off a car engine while the A/C is on is actually a bad thing.

Anyone heard this before or have a possible explanation y it might/might not be true?

 

I have heard that too. I never understood it but I always turn my A/C off anyway.

 

Your car just needs to cool off with a swim.....

now drive it off the Golden Gate bridge w/ you in it.

Haha j/p im a lil tipsy time to go Party people its FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i have the same problem. I turn the recirculating button on and there is definitley no air coming out of the vents but it is just plain old hot inside the cabin. Doesn't matter if it's hot outside or not. I just roll with the windows down....always haha.

 

Mine seems to work fine. The first day I had it, I drove it home for an hour and it was 90+ outside. It was hot in the beginning but it cooled down with the AC cranked up!

 

i think it's much like electronics at home.
u alwayz turn it off first before you unplug it.

 

has anyone tried opening a window??

 

Or turn the a/c on till cold air blows out a little, then turn the a/c off... the air seems to stay cool after that.

 

maybe they mismatched the colors.. blue=hot, red=cold hahah or not

 

so all knobs are turned all they way left? Also, it should never be in defrost mode. If you are still getting heat, then strip down to yo nekked a$$.

 

+1

 

I run with my Knob all the way right (Red) and the Mode Knob set to the feet only. Even in the Summer Time. I tend to get sleepy when Warm/hot air flows into my eyes constantly. haha. If it gets too hot, I turn the knob to the blue, if that doesn't help, I turn the A/C on but max is 2. Never 3 or 4 unless it's really hot and I just need the A/C to cool up faster...

 

sounds like you should take it in to the stealership and have them service your problem. on my bmw the entire a/c system broke and they replaced a capacitor or something and fixed it up. your cabin shouldn't be hot with no heat on and mild temperatures.
