#1 of 3 Mazda Miata hot ventilation air by arafat Aug 22, 2008 (9:55 am)
Just got my new 2008 Miata and am loving it. However, I get very warm - almost hot air from the dash & other vent ducts even when the temp. dial is set to max. cold. Get VERY hot air when temp is set to warmest setting. Will get cool/cold air when A/C is turned on. Wonder if a heater gate valve is not closing fully. Anyone else have this problem or have insights?

Replying to: arafat (Aug 22, 2008 9:55 am) Just got my 2008 Miata and having the same problem. Have the dealer checked it out and they found everything to be "within spec!?" I have read solutions for earlier models. It shows you how to adjust the open/close position of the heated air flow control cable which located behind the glove compartment. I wasn't able to find the cable on a 2008. Anyone out there have a solution or suggestions? Thanks.
