Air inlet for ventilation/heater was created by Soeley
Does any know where the air inlet is on the Gen4 for the heating/cooling vents?
When laning and is slow traffic, with the heater set to low the air coming through the vents is warmer than the ambient air outside. But when you get going again it is a nice cool breeze. So I'm guessing it is under the bonnet somewhere and the engine heat is warming the air up, or it is ducted close to a heat source.
Wondering if it can be ducted from behind the grille, even if only for summer time?

This vent seems to align with the intake on the heater unit

I did wonder about that one, not yet had reason to remove the scuttle panel 
It must just be getting hot through the bulkhead maybe and maybe drawing hot air from the bonnet?

I guess you have tried "Re-circulate" as it may be cooler than "Fresh"? And the temp setting?
I normally use "Fresh, 30C, Fan 1-3" and now "OFF"!

You were right Martin, just tested with some tissue and it sucked it down when fan blower turned on.

Recirculate will just reuse the already warm air within the cab. My point was on low or cold the air temp should be the same as the outside. Looks like it is either dragging heat from the bonnet surface or through the bulkhead.
