G6Et Faults To Look For B4 Purchasing

[wa g6et]

Used mine yesterday(37deg here in Perth), set to 20deg on Auto within minutes too cold, set to 22deg even still very cold. Outside temp showing 35deg, my car has good quality tint and is white, guess this helps too.

Maybe semi-auto warmer air to feet is just the way the mixing takes place as the climate control regulates the temp in the cabin.

The air from my vents freezes my hands if the air is pointed directly at me.

Obviously there are differences between built dates with the aircon on the FGs. Seems it possible they sorted it on the euro4 2010 update builds. Read somewhere the refridgerant quanity is now higher in the later builds, bigger compressor?

08 FG.. Aircon was freezing (Set on 25 celsius) as described above.. After it went back to ford and got reflashed and something else electrical done to it.. First thing I noticed was that the aircon wasn't as cold as it was.. So to get about the same feel in the cabin I had previously I now have to set it on 20..

Ive never had freezing air in any mode. Good to hear its possible, especially at 37!! Im going to fire up next service. Cheers

Yea I get the same on mine XR6-T, but I don't worry about since I almost never switch the aircon on.

With my climate set on semi auto 22deg (around 30deg outside and with either vented or recirc) I get noticeable warmer air to my feet compared to the dash vents. It's not until I drop the temp to 19deg that this air gets close to the same temp as the dash vents. I realise there is air mixing occurring at some point but do others have this happening.

Yep, mine does the exact same thing, not sure if its a mixer thing happening, maybe if I left it on long enough the feet temp would change? but I always alter (decrease)the temp before that (so it cools ma feet.

Here's my list of problems fixed under warranty:

• Climate control in passenger side footwell broken twice. Only cold air blowing from that vent.
  
• Ambient air temperature sensor 10-15 degrees off. Made climate control blow too hot all the time.
  
• Diff bushes after 20000km. Lived with it for a while, then fixed under warranty, then broken again like 2000km later.
  
• Driver's door hinge broken.
  
• Glovebox opening no longer smooth. Got stuck once and I broke the clip trying to open it.
  
• Front discs warped creating brake shudder at 100km/h+.
  
• Water dripping from driver's side footwell aircon vent.
  
• Driver's window kept winding down even though it was all the way down until the motor burnt out.
