I also have cold fresh air leaking into my van. It is particularly noticeable somewhere on the driver's side of the dashboard, but this is possibly because I can feel the air flow there while I am driving. In an effort to resolve this air leak, I removed the top outer front grill and securely fastened a piece of cardboard (properly sized, cut, and taped) over the plastic wire mesh screen that covers the air intake duct. This should have stopped all fresh air from entering the heater box enclosure. Is there a second air intake duct, possibly coming from the bottom front outer grill? A search of my Bentley has failed to find a diagram of the air intake flow passages. Did I miss something? The air ducts going to the outer dash fresh air vents are tight as are the door flap seals in those vents. Please note that this is an 86 van with only fresh (nonheated) air coming from those vents. (Heated air from those vents started in 1987.) Anyone have an idea of where my air leak is occuring? Budd Premack 86 Syncro, 84 GL, 73 Super Minneapolis, MN (Land of Frozen Waters) AND COLD TOES TOO!
