Hello all,

I got my car back finally. driven it for around 100 km in city and traffic and got an average of 10.5 KMPL
driven it on highway and some local travel (no pushing) around 150 km and got an average of 15.5 KMPL
have not installed the AC yet, hopefully it would be done on the weekend.
one problem which i am facing is there is a lot heat on the driver side feet. if i drive my car for a longer period it gets very hot. i can feel the floor and front of the car so hot..
While engine was being installed there were two holes one for clutch cable and the second one for the wiring, both of them are full. is there anything else that I may check or get fixed. please guide. thank you

Is it auto or manual?
Check if exhaust is nearby. You can heat wrap it.

Two holes were not closed properly,
Rubber and foam installed. Now the problem is solved
