dropped bit of vent into heater


Recommended Posts

A night of questions im affraid, just went out in the car,turned on heater full blast and there was some thing ratteling around at the bottom of the center console. I then noticed a bit of my vent is missing and think it must be this. Is there a way of getting it out or guide how to with out taking the whole dash??

Thanks again no more questions tonight i promis lol;)

Well depends where it's fallen ???

I know how to access the lower vent but.... you have to relase the section that goes over the gear stick and just under the lighter socket and ash tray...

To be honest you really need to know where the bit is first ....

Right well as i've recently had my dash out i can tell you there's a large letter box sized bend that goes from the two vents in the centre and drops down in to the rear of the dash... now this in turns goes at right angle to the left as you look at it behind the dash then rises up on the left to the actual blower motor which is hidden under the front scuttle pannel under the drip tray under the bonnet...

I wouldn't think that it will get up to the blower motor but i bet it will rattle around and annoy the hell out of you...

There is a connecting vent which attaches to the main vents you dropped it into but this runs down the central console by the drivers left leg. The only way to access this is to remove the centre section of the gear stick plastic dash you know where the gear stick and hand brake bits are withthe cubby hole and this sits under the ash trya and lighter socket... it's a fiddly job but once out you'll see the connecting black plastic vent pipe it's squared of and has two hex bolts which connect it up if that part has get this far then you shouldbe able to get it out...

But my advice is ... if it's not doing any damage and because it's a bitch of a place to get to leave it... just turn the music up and forget it's there....!!
