wind leak under steering column.

Hi,

My car experience hot air from engine compartment when going at high speed leaking from somewhere under the steering column. Can anyone advice me where leakage is from?

Best,

I recommend you take along a small passenger on a test drive to locate the leak. That is what I would do.

hi ,

it must be from firewall pad ... good luck  .

I would guess it is from one of the grommets on the firewall. At PUB this year, we saw a number of cars with the larger grommets on the left side (LHD cars) that were completely gone, or almost gone. These are the complex grommets with three to four cables/wires running through them.

Thanks I will take a look again but I remembered that I have replaced them during my full restorations.

From  my experience, there are a couple of the grommets that are not so obviously visible - the one on brake pedal and the gas pedal related elements that are going through the firewall.
