This only happens when there is a bit of warm air being mixed in, so the temp needs to be set above ambient air temp.I've had my car in 3 or 4 times to get it look at, a number of parts (mixer shafts, etc) have been replaced and the dash has now been out twice. The guys at the dealership have been really nice and understanding but I just picked it up today and it still seems to be doing it (need to test in the cool of the morning).Has anyone seen this issue, is it common and/or is there a quick fix. Starting to think the issue will never be fixed and while all work is being done under waranty I'm sure the dealership is getting sick of seeing me.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What sort of difference are you talking carbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I need more time to test it out and see how we go, a small different is ok I suppose, just never had any noticiable difference for the first few years.And yeah I can feel the difference on the centre vents, plus when the passenger is sweating and I'm cool, that's a good indicator ;-)Now the iPod doesn't have any sound, I'm guessing a cable got missed so I'm taking it back for that at least.

I had a similar issue with my Mazda3. I had an accident and ever since then, there was always warm air coming out the vent system with the aircon off.To much hassles to get them to look at it after the 11th time so I gave up on the car and got the ford.
