For a long while I was getting hot air blowing into the cabin.
I suspected the regulating valve in the heating unit wasn't shutting off properly (though air wasn't flowing thru) so I installed an inline valve on the hose in the engine compartment leading to the heating unit. NG.
I must add that hot air was coming in only after engine temp reached the 190 deg region.
Then I suspected the channel under body covering the main water tubes along the car. A long time ago I replaced those tubes and doing so I had cut off the channel. So I fabricated a new channel. NG
I then sealed everything along the channel – still NG
Last week my friendly neighbor Nati looked and found out I am missing two small plate, up front under the headlights which leaves an open path for hot air into the front trunk and into the cabin.
End of hot air story, see pics
