Re: Really bad draft
My wife can be cold in the vehicle sometimes. We keep a small lap blanket in the car. Works wonders, she can wrap it around her legs/feet... sometimes she will position it to capture heat from the heater too. I'd die from the heat but it keeps her comfy so

Re: Really bad draft
Easy fix.
Duct tape Steph's door vents.
You still get enough air through your vents and come on, is the Xterra really that air tight?

Re: Really bad draft
Dont know if this is the same thing or not but,
When it is real cold outside I get this crazy wistling noise for the first few mins, but it sounds like it is coming from the windsheild (center of dash area)???? Must admit that i do not feel any draft though!
Maybe something totaly different Anyone got any input on this one??

Re: Really bad draft
HVAC vacuum leak? Does it go away or change if you change the HVAC settings while it is whistling?

Re: Really bad draft
I notice this to some extent in x kid's horny orange Xterra. It must be a common thing... even with heat directed to the floor, could still feel a cold draft on my right foot. It was NOT coming from the door.morb wrote:hey I've got the same problem. It's bloody freezing on the passenger side at the floorboards.

HVAC isn't vacuum controled. Electric with some cables.

Re: Really bad draft
the fresh air intake is under the passenger footwell. I solved that problem by turning on the recirculate button. shuts off the outside air intake and keeps the passenger's feet warmer.Bow_Tied wrote:I notice this to some extent in x kid's horny orange Xterra.

Re: Really bad draft
So that means only part of the air gets heated? That is a weird design, never had a vehicle like that.
