quick question...i just got my 2002 b6 a4 and when im driving with the windows up..it seems to get kinda hot in the car...like hot air is coming out of the vents...especially from the leg area.... the climate contols and everything is off...i just dont know why it gets hot...is it just from the motor and trans that makes it hot??

 

I have a 96 2.8 that was having the same thing. I thought it was a heatsheild or something so i took off the panel under the steering wheel so i could see under there. Turns out there was a rubber gasket that goes around the steering colum and seals the hole between the engine and cabin was loose. It was east to but back in place and heat problem was solved. Im not sure it will be the same case since your car is newer but it is worth a look.

 

I have the same thing in my b5 01 1.8T it does the samething as you just described.. i always thought it was normal heat comming from the engine and tranny... i just turn on the ac or crack the windows... problem solved... lol

 

Turn the climate controls to auto and all will be solved.

 

he thing is if i turn it to auto temp...will the AC be on all the time..or does it just depend on what temp i decide to put it on..?

 

this is true ^^^ ac on.. can mean loss of power...

 

SO. as long as your not racing the whole time your driving the car, you wont have to worry bout that, and If you are racing the entire time, that also could be part of the heat.

 

its definately normal heat my friend... i think... or else i gotta figure out what the problem is also... lol
