Is it just my Bravo or does there seem to be a bit of extra ventilation in the footwell? My feet got quite cold (it was -7 here in Lincolnshire this morning) despite having the heater full blast!

Anyone else noticing this?
 
I'm going to go with "or"

My feet are pretty cold, but I'm putting that down to wearing real shoes - my feet were freezing pretty quickly when I had to walk in the snow.

Even the diesel once it's upto temp kicks out plenty of cabin heat.
 
Yep. Just like in the stilo before. The vents direct the wrong way for a RH driver. I find the best cure is to turn the fan on to about 3 and only on the feet. I never really mastered the stilo heater in six years and this one looks like it could be the same.
 
you should try a laguna... there ****e :D

i find it adequate.... my feet do get a bit cold sometimes... but then i have arthritis so notice it a lot!...

but then i can tell exactly what temperature i want my cabin set at :p
 
Before it got really cold i did notice with mine that my right foot was not getting warm no matter how long i was in the car.

At the moment i have an 1.4 active courtesy car and my left foot is getting frozen

I can put my hand down on the left of my left foot and there is a draft coming from the front of the car. Its not my car or i would be investigating

If I was you I would be looking for a rubber grommet missing or something on the bulkhead
 
I was driving home from Stockholm yesterday in my Bravo 1,6 mjet! A drive that takes about 7 hours, and no matter what I did my feets where freezing..... Tempratures where between -12 and -25C the entire trip. I had normal leather winter shoes on... BTW my car has the steering wheel on the normal side:p Left that is(y)
 
Diesels don't have the amount of waste heat that petrols do, and Fiats are notorious for their inability to warm feet anyway. However, i have a colleague with a Citroen C4 Diesel, and she suffers from exactly the same cold feet problem.

My Doblo never gets toasty hot in cold weather, no matter how long I drive it. And I mean really toasty hot. I like to be warm.

I live in thermals right now, and drive at night, so its hats and coats on too.
 
And I thought it was only me. My Bravo Multijet seems incapable of properly heating the driver's footwell, even when fully up to temperature, airflow directed to below and fan on full... The rest of the cabin gets hot, feet remain cold. I've put it down to a design that emenates from a predominantly Mediterranean climate...

Fiat-wide problem i think. Both my Puntos (Mk1 & Mk2) and the Stilo all leave me with cold feet. Tbh i thought it was normal till i had a Fiesta as a courtesy car, which cooked my feet.

There's still no way id buy a blo*dy Fiesta though, cold feet or not.

The Stilo does start to warm my feet abit if i leave the fan on at least '2' and the direction on just the footwells, but it takes a sustained period at motorway speeds (more airflow & higher engine temp) to do it.
