Title: Climate control "quietens" after 1 hour or so
Post by: Peter13 on 14 June 2012, 11:07:22
This is something new. I have my climate system completely renewed last year.
Last weekend I parked on the sun and started with a hot interior. After 10 minutes the temperature was comfotable and I was cruising in the city traffic fully comfortable(Temp set to 24 deg, blower level 2 while the external temp. was ~ 30deg)
After half an hour I left the city and drove another half an hour on the highway, which I think is much easier job for the climate control system. Then I started to feel it is getting warm inside, so I increased the blower level and decreased the temp (3 and 22C). Still not enough. At the end I had to drive with LO temp and almost maximum vent settings but wasn't good either!
My feeling was that the blower motor is getting only noisier when I set it to a higher level, but actually blows slower when I started at level 2. The air temp feels cold.  On the way home the other day it did the same. Any hints?

You could try to reset the aircon (ot sure how to do this on prefacelift though)

Did it some minutes after I arrived on the first day. It worked then till next day and 1 hour of driving. I'm suspecting it's icing on some reason and the ice blocks the air flow.
