Default 3.2L Interior Heat, driver's side?

Hey folks,

Just changed my 2.0T to a 3.2L and noticed a lot more heat coming from under the car. I was told it's normal since it's a V6. But it feels like the heat is getting inside the cabin especially on the driver's side...normal too? I have no check engine lights or overheating indications on the gauge.

I drive a 3.2 and don't notice it being particularly hot when I drive. Perhaps normal, but not my experience.

Thanks NE. Even my seats feel warm as if the seat warmers were on. I just got it back from the dealership today and they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary either. I'm still a bit skeptic.

Does it feel like it's coming from the vent down by your feet or does it just feel like it is coming directly through the floor from under the car? Put a thermometer under the passenger seat and see how hot it gets.

The heat is coming from under the seats. Hard to say if it's coming from the vents by my feet. I actually sat in the passenger side today and felt it on that side too. but then again, by car is black on black and was hot and sunny today. I'll try the thermometer when i get a chance and see results.
