Cabin Heat From Engine?

[MoonPie]

When I'm driving the GXP, with all climate control completely shut off, I still feel heat seeping into the cabin of the car. Its like the front defroster is on or something. Is this normal?

It does it on mine too... Not really bad but when it's warmer out or the sun is on me it makes it more apparent.

Nothing to worry about. Just turn on the fan...

Cool, thanks for the affirmation i'm not a schizo...:woohoo:

on a side note, 4gasem, what is that girl :bjob: in your avatar?

That could be that the actuators in the HVAC controls aren't closing the flaps all the way. I've seen that many times when I used to work for Valeo. No big deal.

Just my 2 cents

On my G8 GT I don't get any heat through the firewall, and I live in Florida. Just thought I'd let you know for comparison.

Both my Grand Am and G6 did it.

If you were a real schizo, you'd post here under a different name and argue the point.

I noticed that too on my Grand Prix and this G8. All I do is make sure the temp is turned down all the way and then off and everything is fine. If you leave it set at higher temp, it will "leak" out some and you feel it more.
