    Default Airconditioning help please =]

    In my vr and im guessing everyones vr there is a pipe that runs near the drivers left leg. Im guessing it is something for air conditioning, (obviously im no car genius).

    Well mine is always hot dont know whether that is normal even if the AC is turned off or on cold the pipe is always hot, Is that normal?

    I think that is the heater core pipe mate, so its normal to be hot all the time

    It should only be hot if you have the dial turned to hot - if you dial cold there is a vacuum switch at the end of the dial that turns the heater tap off. If your pipes are hot, and the dial is on cold then this means you are mixing hot and cold air and getting warm air. The pipe should be cold when you use the A/C. Check other similar posts as this exact problem has been covered in the last few weeks.
