Heat.... lots of it - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Cabin is ALWAYS hot. Heat seems to be finding a way into the car really quickly. The ground of the cabin seems to be unusually warm. Does everyone's exhaust heat conduct into the car so easily?

i have so much heat this summer i dont know what to do

my a/c is shot, so i can never tell what is heating what ... lol

but my feet do get warm sometimes unexpectedly

Only on long trips for me. Around town its fine. Hillclimbing tends to warm it up too

Windows down, sunroof open....yea the a/c doesnt work

i don't think my car gets hot though

i dont think i get hot when driving (inside the cabin) as long as my a/c works... but when it starts to blink... well i got problems

EvoFire · 07-20-2007, 12:40 PM

ur A/C blinks? Its ok when I have A/C on, just that when I turn the A/C off, the car warms up very fast to the point where its hotter than outside.

Venom_5 · 07-20-2007, 12:56 PM

well youre fortunate because in the afternoons when i turn the a/c on, it blows out air hotter than outside

i just cant escape the heat!

I had that problem this past week, the vents always blew hot air even when it was cool outside - I didn't realize that my vent was set to recirculate and not to fresh air (where it should have been). That lever above your AC button, make sure it's set to fresh air which is the right-hand position.

If it is set on recirculate and it's hot in the car, you'll just be moving hot air around.

yea i dont understand the heat in our cars....

my moms car (2004 altima) and my 95 Camry, we will leave our car in the sun at the same time, right next to each other, and her car isnt that bad when you get in. In my car, you feel the heat rolling out of the door and its awful until the A/C or windows go down...maybe the colors? Her car is a burgendy, and mine is green...will tinting the windows help? Do you all have this crazy temp in the car?

a/c is overrated. save gas, open a window

u may have a bad heat sheild over the exhaust, it can rust out and that will allow heat inside.

Venom_5 · 07-20-2007, 05:38 PM

Heat, youre wrong

re-circulate is supposed to be the coolest ... especially since the vents for "fresh air" are right next to the engine [yay toyota!]

however thats not my problem, im not a noob ... i know what im talking about ... its cuz my a/c compressor & clutch are fcked!

and i have like 35% tint and it helps, but only a little ... and i have Red Mica Metallic paint -.-

Toyota recommends that you set the air draw to recirculate and turn the fan speed on it's maximum setting if you want quick cooling. After that, then you can resort back to fresh.

My A/C is chilling cold, sometimes its gets a little too cold... then I would have to pick between being cold or being hot.... which is rather stupid.
