Rear Heater

[ridway]

Does the rear heater just re-circulate or does it pull in fresh air?

Recirc

 

Rich has asked this before?

It is a question I thought I had asked before and did have a quick search to check, obviously missed it. Its an age thing you know, cheers anyway.

 

Since posting I've had a real good look around and there are no vents externally so you're right it must by re circed.

 

Going on from this. Where does the air from the front blower exit when not in re circ. Again there does not seem to be any exit vents at the rear? Does it rely on the positive pressure caused to just force its way out through various gaps, door seals, light clusters etc? The situation may be related to windscreen misting due to poor air throughput reported in another thread.

Exit vents at rear on most cars are now normally hidden behind the rear bumper (in the metal of the body, which is then covered by the bumper plastic). For Sharalaxy, on facelifted models, there are extractor vents in the removable rear panels that clip on to cover the jack/wheelbrace and rear lights fixed to the body (as distinct from the lights in the tailgate).
