Hot in the Cabin

Hey

 

Drove the car Friday and last nite ; Friday the exhaust did not sound right, louder than normal etc I know the weather is getting hotter but after 10-15 mins driving I need to open the window , it is so hot in there (Like having the Heater on full). This is even at night

 

The heater Matrix is on lowest temp, it works fine , hot/Cold temperature ranges.

 

I just installed a new exhaust not too long ago, I had to use some Exhaust sealant (Holts Gun Gum) around the 2nd down pipe (2nd cat goes); I have a sneaky suspicion she might be leaking again; I presume this will cause the rise in temp in the cabin. I covered the tail pipe with a cloth last night but I didn't see anything obvious leaking, hard to tell though considering the mild weather, Exhaust gases are fairly transparent . Center tunnel does not feel hotter than normal.

 

Servicing her on Friday, so will have her on the ramp to check everything.

 

  • Anybody have any other tips to check a leaking exhaust?
  • Will the heat damage anything if I need to drive her to the Garage (1hr away)?
