Bluebear Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I know mine takes AGES to demist etc, and theres hardly anything come out of the vents. Had a look at the air filter, and mine was just clogged full of oil, road muck etc, probably never been changed ever. Gonna buy a new one, see if it helps.If you're interested, its underneath dash on passenger side. Look for an oblong shape, it pulls off from what I can remember, or there's retaining plastic bolt/pins. Once you have the cap off, the filter will be there.

Turbo Goose Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Mine are sort of warm after 10 mins then like 25 mins they pop out some heat, bit weird as after the car reaches normal runnin temp it still takes a further 10 mines or so to get red hot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
