rubber pipe behind stereo
« on: 26 March 2016, 17:13:43 »

Hello
I`m in the middle of installing an aftermarket stereo and noticed a rubber pipe which blew air out when I turned fan on. I tried to find out where it should be coupled up to when the sod came off and now i have no idea where it should go.
Its obviously part of the heater system.
Does anybody know where it should go and couple up to?

Early cars used to blow cool air into the glove box.

Later cars blow cool air onto the back of the head unit. Leave it where it is and your new unit will benefit from a bit of cooling :y

IIRC there is a plastic spigot on the side of the A/C unit. I cannot remember what you need to remove to get to it - you will probably need to remove the glove box :-\

Yep  that's the one. Hope to relocate it today weather permitting.
