evan9eleven Posted July 24 Posted July 24 Hey everyone, Tried searching, and emailing CR a week back, but lacking a response I thought I'd post here. I've had my car back on the road for two months and about 1000km of driving, and I have some issues with the Gen 2 blower. The first issue is air leakage. At speed, there is audible wind noise in the cabin along with air escaping from various parts of the dash. Pulling out the clock while driving quickly exposes quite a rush of air from the front baggage area. I am confident that I have a good hood seal, the hood shuts tightly and there is no water ingress. The blower is installed as instructed with no gasket; though the OEM blower had one. The fit is good and relatively tight where it mates to the fresh air inlet. All unused ports on the blower are blocked off. There is no other opening where air could be forced into the frunk at speed. As a test I blocked off the entire fresh air inlet and went for a drive. The amount of air inrush was reduced but not eliminated. The second issue I have is with water and drainage. When washing the car or driving in the rain, any water that enters the fresh air inlet immediately leaks out of the bottom of the blower housing and into the frunk and smuggler's box. I have both drains connected but the water exits elsewhere and not from the drains at all. Water also runs out of the blend valve outlets and on to the floor of the car. A bit frustrating for sure, anyone have input for me on this? Quote
