On two separate occasions I have noticed the centre console housing the usb and aux port together with the compartment in the armrest have generated a lot of heat, to the point that it distorted the  plastic frames of my driving glasses  has anyone experienced this? 

My car is a superb Mk iii Lauren & Klement DSG TSI 1984cc Registered 01/05/2016

Has the rear heating been turned up to max?

The Yeti has a flap in the centre cubby that you can open to supply cold  air to keep things cool, but if the rear heating is on it supplies hot air, is the Superb the same and you’ve got the flap open?

Thanks you kindly for your replies and apologies for tardiness of mine - I forgot to opt to be notified.  

Yes, elderly stepdad must have cracked up the rear heating control and the vent was open in the armrest.
