Default With this cold weather anyone feel a cold air draft coming from the hood release under the driver

side dash? I've noticed that in this recent cold spell, although the heater warms up after about 5-10 miles, my feet are still cold. It seems that there is only one small vent in the driver's footwell, and it can't overcome a cold draft that seems to be coming from the hole where the hood release is.

does anyone have a similar problem in an A8?

Not in my 2006. Look for a misinstalled rubber grommet at firewall?
