    Toyota Camry 2009: Why is the centre console getting hot?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Camry Toyota Camry Advice Toyota Camry 2009

    During a recent touring holiday around Tasmania in our 2009 Toyota Camry Ateva we noticed a heat build-up on the centre console just to the rear of the gear selector. It wasn't hot enough to cause discomfort, but still quite hot. Could you say what might be causing it?

    It could be caused simply by heat coming back from the engine, or perhaps an exhaust pipe that's a little too close to the underbody. The best way is to get under the car and have a look. If there's nothing obviously causing the heat to build up you could consider putting some heat insulation on the underbody in that area to reduce it.
