Lots of heat from centre console

Recommended Posts

Just noticed this recently but the amount of heat building up in the centre console from the gear stick backwards is getting concerning, i pulled the gear trim today and i could barely touch the body of the car.

Now I know the centre cat is directly under here and it's not touching the body but the stainless exhaust turns purple next to the cat then silver again as it cools.

Is this the result of an old cat starting to clog?

The car is running good just averaged 32mpg last tankful (mixed driving) and I can't feel any loss in power. Temp gauge bang in the middle.

I don't have gauge fitted yet to see what the boost is doing.

 

Anyone else experienced this?

 

Cheers

Mike

Mines is 13 yr old too :)

 

Honestly i did a 360 mile round journey with mixed roads and a couple of run ins with a scooby. By the time I was home I had just under a 1/4 tank left and she took 51 litres to fill. Amazed me too:blink:

 

51 litres? You're about 10 litres short there mate. My J-spec takes 60 litres or so. (I've once got 65 litres into it according to the pump. The guy in the counter who I asked how come I got 65 litres into my 60 litre tank just shrugged his shoulders :search: )
