I posted some time ago that I couldn't get my feet warm in winter when driving our 2016 Fiat Ducato X290, with comfortmatic gearbox. Passenger side was fine, just the driver's side that wouldn't get warm.
Previous 2010 Ducato X250, with manual gearbox, lovely toasty warm feet, therefore assumed there was a problem with the new van.
So asked local Fiat dealer to investigate - response, "There's nothing wrong". I said there must be!
The technician said, "well there is a large plastic footrest on the Comfortmatic which may be directing the warm air away - do you want me to try removing it?"
Upshot, now have toasty feet when driving and I can stretch my left leg out 'properly' too!
So anybody with cold feet on a comfortmatic, check out the large plastic footrest, which can be removed (and replaced if necessary).
