Having just come through summer complaining of hot feet while the aircon was switched on to vent at dash level, I decided to fix it.

I consulted the RAVE CD and decided the heater controls were not closing the vents properly. Having stripped away the trim beneath the steering column the source of my extra heating was none other than a large wiring harness rubber boot had popped out ( adjacent to the 300 TDI fuel filter ). Not only has the very hot air ceased, but you would not believe the reduction in the engine noise!

Shame I did not seek out the problem during the Hot QLD summer!
