hi guys...i'm just wondering recently about our car special feature "warm centre console"....
any of u guys ever ask SC about this scenario....nowadays...it seems very2 hot....30 C plus during the day...
the hot weather + warm centre console =
Long Term Effect on gearbox..???

especially those who always stuck in traffic jam....
thanx for ur opinion...

Hmm. My 'warmer' is not really working. I did not really notice the warm effect. My left leg is usually resting on the console when I am driving. Coin box/ ashtray box is also 24/7 on the cup holder. Maybe mine is the new batch, just got the car lesss than one month ago.
What I got to know is that my middle console has already been pre-insulated in factory. Therefore heat is not noticeable. Mine is a 2.0 by the way. As for 1.6, it is not pre-insulated. The fact is still true as of last month, as my SA is good enough to offer to insulate it for me for free if I were to get a 1.6.
As I ask for quotation for both 1.6 and 2.0, in his offer, he stated the middle console insulator as one of the item for 1.6, but not for 2.0. So I asked why the insulator is not available for 2.0. He said that the insulator is already pre-fixed from the factory. No need to add. I really do not feel the hotness on my left leg and the coins in the coin box.
