I swear I get significantly more engine heat through the vents when the system is completely off. And like you said, I've been wondering if that's simply an effect of the engineering focus on low weight, compact design, and performance. If that's the case, I'm good with that. I knew I'd ben making sacrifices. I just want to be sure I'm not crazy, ill, or my brand new AC system is already on the fritz.

Thanks for your help.
