A/C in glovebox???

[Fred]

Hey all, this isn`t really a problem, more of a query.

I`ve not seen this mentioned before, so don`t know if it`s meant to happen or not, but does anyone know if the `P3` GTi has an air conditioned glovebox?

I was rummaging about in the glovebox tonight, while demisting the windscreen, & noticed a stream of cold air coming from above the lid catch (warm/hot air coming through the vents, cold air in the glovebox).

Is this meant to happen, or have I got a piece of ducting missing?

Not really worried about it, more curious really.

Keeps sandwiches and a drink cool on a long journey. Seriously!, a lot of the VAG cars have it. Almost as trick as a curry hook. Learn something new every day dont ya!

Cheers Damo!

Our new Qashqai`s got an A/C glovebox, I just didn`t know if the GTi was meant to have one or not.

I like it even more now!

We found this out when fitting stereo equipment and a sat nav to a new shape fabia. removed the glovebox to run wires properly, fitted all the kit, checked all the switches and gauges worked when we put it all back together (as some cars spack out when you remove the stereos due to all ths new fangled can-bus style wiring) and the glovebox was blowing out ice cold air.......and we thought we'd fucked his car up! A swift phonecall to Lindvale VW and getting laughed at by the service manager (twat) revealed the reason.
