why do my feet get really hot in my 82 Porsche 911,no matter where i set the heater, my feet just burn up ?

Question

only bought it on sunday, the seller said it had some wires underneath to change from winter toi summer settings, but i cant find anything like this.
can anyone shed any light on this 4 me ???

gone through 2 pairs of trainers already!!!!!!

the exhaust and engine are located at the rear, sorry.

Answer 1

there will be an air valve of some kind that is stuck open. i dont know the ins n outs of the 911 well enough to tell you where exactly but as the engine is air cooled, the same hot air generated by the engine is used to heat the interior.

contact an owners club or specialist repairer which you'll find in a 911 magazine

Answer 2

The engines in the back so its a problem with your heating ducts or your heater controls
The heat from the engine is passed under the car body via two heat tubes underneath your car (its the same system on the old VW beetle) if your feet are getting hot then either your controls are stuck or theres a problem with this system!

Answer 3

Engine heat and/or exhaust run under the floorboard, lack of heat shield under floor board.

Heater controls malfunctioned or jammed.
