Question about "heat" coming from the lower feet area...
Has anyone experienced this? This happened on the A4 as well but thought it was b/c of the turbo. Whenever I don't use the ac and leave the windows down, I get this stream of heat coming up my legs. Is there a TSB or something on this b/c its very annoying. TIA.

don't think it's a TSB. my guess is the V8 is stuffed in the engine bay so tight that the heat build-up eventually seeps into the cabin.

The air intake for the HVAC system is under the hood, and doesn't pull in outside air very well.
So you get a little engine heat added to the outside air, so it feels warmer than the ambient temp.

happens to me too, was wondering the same thing.
though it's only noticable when it's 100 degrees outside, which it's been for the last 2 months in Texas...this heat comes in handy when I drop the top in January though.

my old a4 3.0 had some heat
but not nearly as much as i feel in the S4. at times i'm even forced to turn on the ac and direct the air to the vents on the floor. pretty sure i saw something written here about it in the past though and that post linked it to heat from the engine bay.
- flame on!
