Title: MORE PROBS ON MY MK1 IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME AGAIN?
Post by: lurber on 08 January 2008, 21:00

HI DUDES, ONLY ME AGAIN DONT WANT TO TAKE MY MOTOR TO THE RID OFF GARAGES SO I WILL SEE IF ANY1 CAN HELP ME ON HERE AS YOU BOYS NORMALLY DO?

PROBLEM IS GETTING A BIT OF SMOKE IS COMING THROUGH MY PAS SIDE VENT IN THE CAR. NORMALLY WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING. AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ETC. IT MIGHT BE DOING IT WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING BUT THE AIR GOING THROUGH THE ENGINE BAY MIGHT BE BLOWING IT AWAY, HENCE IT DOESNT BLOW AWAY WHILE CAR IS STILL AND THEN IT MAKES IT WAY THROUGH THE VENTS.

ANY CLUES

hmm, seems odd it comes out oly the pass side, the fresh air for the cabin comes in through the miuddle of the scuttle.  maybe you got a hole in the firewall somewhere?  check all the holes where the wires come thru, maybe one wire is pushed out o place
