Hot air coming through center and side vents
As the title says, hot air coming through center and side ac vents. Car is a 72 with factory air that appears to function properly with a minimal amount of air flow however. I currenly have top and front dash pads out, where/ what should I be looking for. Have been a car guy for a lotta years and worked on old Jags, but will admit to some intimidating looking work ahead of me. Thanks for all your help. Additionally, any recommendations on replacement of any components living back behind the dash as I know I won’t want to revisit any time soon! |
Hot air leaking through the vents is usually caused by old, deteriorated seals in the heater box. Complete rebuild/seal kits are available to fix that, but the entire heater box should be removed to do the rebuild work.

check the vacuum valve that controls the hot water entering the heater core

Thanks Lars. Is this a job done from inside or outside or both? In lieu of this, would disconnecting heater hose eliminate hot water going to heater core just allowing for ambient air sneaking into the cabin? Many thanks Dave |

Thanks sambrand. I can see I’ll be facing a steep learning curve. Appreciate all the help. I get cold ac air from the center and side vents with ac on. However with system totally off I am getting warm air through the vents. Help Mr Wizard |
