I notice the same thing in my '93 after the first open road trip I made in the weekend but the air con kept cabin temp nice, Is your air con working properly?
I'm picking a lot of this has to do with the hot coolant circulating through the heater continuously. This was a problem on my C3 also and I lessened the problem by fitting a vacuum operated valve to the feed hose to the heater core so that I could turn it off completely from inside the cabin, a lot of owners of C3's fit manually operated valves to the heater hoses but that means lifting the hood every time you want to turn the heat on or off (the weather is so changeable here that would be a pain).
Fitting heat shielding looks like a major mission in a C4 to me, engine out lizard skin coating on firewall maybe or dash out insulate firewall transmission tunnel etc from the cabin side JMPO. Vac operated heater control valve
Check the condition of the rubber shifter boot that lives under the cosmetic leather boot. If it's not intact, it will admit a ton of heat into the console area from the engine bay and the exhaust system.
Hello, My 94 coupe console seems to get quite hot. Is their some kind of insulation, or a heat shield that can be installed.
Thanks.
Hello Robert,
While at the present time I don't have a dedicated heat shield for your 94. I do offer our Floor and Tunnel II material. This is the same material we used to make the C5 and C6 kits. Check out part number 050503 for a 42" x 48" sheet of material. It is a dimpled aluminum sheet backed by a glass mat, and has a pressure sensitive adhesive on it. This material will fold, bend, and hold shape. It also cuts easily with a heavy duty pair of scissor or tin snips. Check it out at http://designengineering.com/floor-t...e-heat-shield/ . If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
i had a very hot console and very hot oil temps and it was a blocked catalytic converter that was causing the heat to backup.
i gutted it as a temporary fix and the heat issue was completly solved.
how are your oil temps? i think u may need to use the digital readout accessible through your hvac module on the later cars. on my 86 it was on on my dash
