Bumping the post made it more visible, bringing it to the top of the queue again.
I've moved the post and made a new thread of it since it involves a different issue than what the original thread was about. Also made the title more descriptive so others will have a better idea of the issue at hand.
I don't much about the heat in footwell issue, but have heard of it before. Hopefully others that know more about it will chime in.
I can't help but think some of the heat shielding under the MINI is missing. Specifically the aluminum waffle patterned stuff that tucks up around the cat at the front end of the exhaust system. When they have it up on the lift, hopefully they will look to make sure it's still attached......
Thanks for the message Mettalman - the dealership sent me home again saying there was nothing they could do. :blush2: I will call them back with your suggestion and see what they say.:idea:
I would take the SA out for a drive put them in the drivers seat, open the windows and crank up the heat. I'll bet they would look at it a little differently especially since they are probably wearing dress shoes which won't help much in the protection area. :idea:
I thought I would update this thread about the hot footwell area on the right side of the gas pedal. I had the thermostat housing replaced (updated dealer parts) and that panel next to the go pedal still gets hot after installing a brand new thermostat, this is just the way it was designed.
I haven't experienced enough hot weather to notice it in 2013, with the warm humid temperatures we have been having I believe I just didn't notice it until now. What I'm going to do is either wrap the heater core pipes in turbo wrap or use the proper size insulation foam part# 64 11 3 453 594, tomorrow I will give this part # to my local Mini dealer and see if the part # gets a hit.
Now I have a thermostat housing with only 3500 miles on it that operates perfectly, what's the going rate for a used thermostat housing?
and I bumped your post.
