This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i was driving to school the other day, and i had my jacket hanging on the back of the passinger seat. after i parked i went outside, grabbed my bag from the trunk...freezing cold, and i walked to the other side, grabbed the jacket from the back of the seat and WOW that thing was sooooo warm from the engine, and it was the best thing ever. just wanted to share, im sure we all know this but its just another god thing about the box

POST 2Original post

I also notice that there is a significant amount of heat coming from the passagener side air vent (2001 Boxster S), while the driver side is cool. Is this normal?

POST 3Original post

The drivers side vent is for engine intake air only, the passenger side has a fan for intake of fresh air for engine compartment ventilation. It cools the engine bay and gets rid of any explosive vapors that build up.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
