I can't figure out how the centre cool box on my 3008 is chilled? There doesn't seem to be an air inlet which I've seen on previous French cars. I wondered if it was the bottom or side plate that just gets cold?

I could have sworn mine gets cold when the air con is on

3008 1.2 Man GT Line Pearl White (40.2mpg)

Mine stays cool with air con on. I believe they utilise the ducts that go to the rear centre vents and must pass the chilled air along the sides of the box.

So in winter with the car heater on it gets hot

Good point. I wonder. There must be an exploded diagram somewhere.

In that case it'll be good for keeping pies and pasties warm!

Dual functionality.

All cars I've had up to now have had a dial in the glovebox where you can turn the blower on off so you're not heating the glovebox in winter but yes if there is no dial in the centre console then it will heat in winter.

thats unless it maybe cooled by refrigerant pipes directly

My DS5 has a small slide that blocks the air inlet. It's on the RHS wall of the box. Surprised it is not the same on the 3008, though on the DS if you pull up the rubber insert the OBD port is there where on the 3008 you have to pull part of the dash off I believe.

There is a cold air outlet inside the centre cool box front/right mid way up

Ah, mystery solved. We can all go back to chilling our drinks while Dautres stuffs his face with hot pies! :thumb:

Many thanks - I'll take a closer look over the weekend.

Although the coolbox is great, I do find things move about in the box and I'm not sure I want all my clutter chilled!

Much appreciate all the responses.

 

[wolfie882]

Agree with the last point.

A small bottle in the centre storage compartment clunks around a lot!

Or croissants in your case, Dautres :thumb:

Whilst in France, Chris uses his coolbox to chill snails from the local market. As he drives past the French stop, stare and say "Look at that S Car go".

Chris only drives at a snails pace anyway!

I'll get my coat!

Many thanks. Just been out with a torch and looking from the back seats, you can see the vents.

Cheers for the clarification.

Completely off topic so apologies Beau.

Anyone interested in the Tour de France, next Tuesday the tour passes through my local town of Lalinde on the way to Bergerac. I'll be there (reason for not going home with my wife). Now what can I do as the cameras pass so you'll recognise me? :notsure:

If you want you can chase the peloton with your car and your wife can wave at the helicopter camera standing through the panoramic openable roof :lol::goteam:
