I think this also belongs here...
I don't know which idiot designed J63's heating, but recently I've realized that there is NO heating radiator switchoff/bypass valve. Simply YOU CAN NOT SWITCH OFF HEATING.
Although you do close the lid on a chamber with radiator but it still heats the interior. Emediatelly I went to rectify that nonsense and found a very nice switchover valve with a nice large orifice.
BUT...
Manual (renault) says that it helps cooling the engine (J8S Turbo) and it is directly connected to the head which is as we know the heat most sensitive part. Where did they plan that heat to go, my legs? No thanks. No wonder that the AirCon works this weakly.
Since I saw the schematics I wonder what were these people thinking of, space shuttle?
Unfortunetely I like this car, but these guys did some unnecessarily coplicated things here. Why?
Here's what I'll do. I'll still put that valve in and connect it to clima control on the dashboard. But I'll still have to cut a hole on a front bumper where front licence table is. It covers the middle of the radiator. I want that heat out - thanks, but no thanks.
It just might look good too.
Any hints where can I put licence table?
