Centre air vents
« on: 21 November 2018, 15:45 »
I might be going mad, but I'm sure my centre air vents aren't working in my CS. I've only noticed this as, when driving to work in the cold, my right hand gets warmed up nice and quickly and my left hand stays cold until the car is up to temperature!

There may be a whisp of air coming through them, but nothing compared to the vents on the outside of the wheel. I've even tried the 'max' setting to see if that gets them working.

Just to be clear, the vents are definitely OPEN! And aircon is set to auto.

Anyone else had a problem like this, or can explain whether this it's possible for one set of vents to work when others do not?

I noticed it on my 2017 GTD vs the 2014 one.

The only way to get the centre ones working is to hit the button to direct the air from the those vents. Which will take it off of auto and off of climate control... so full manual controls - fan speed, temp etc.

On auto the centre ones are not fed it seems.

Fairly sure my old 2014 car didn't do this.
