    Draft near pedals

    Tonight while driving my car car, I noticed a draft near the pdeals felt on my ankle (I was wearing shorts). I looked under when I got where I was going and noticed no place it could be coming from. HVAC was set on 0 and all vents were closed.

    What could it be?

      Even with hvac off air moves through the system, push recirc button and it is less, still a little though.

              Hmm, this felt like more then that though.

              I would think turning on recirc. would make it be more?

              ^ Yeah I was thinking that. I just did my throttle cable, so maybe I bumped a cover or something

                      haha this.


                      Also there are some other mounting holes down there for things like the brake booster etc so after all these years there may be a bit of air leakage.

                          this.

                          the boot where the steering shaft passes throught the fire wall popped out on mine and i get hot air blowing on my feet and shins.

                          i need to fix that!

                              Lol, it recirculates the air in the cabin, it closes off the outer vents i think. And theres a rubber plug down there in the footwell. If I remember correctly, its the spot where the clutch slave goes. Yes, I know your car is automatic, there should still be the hole though

                                  the wheel well loves to rit out there on the E30s. check for a big azz rust hole down there under/ at the top of the carpet.
