Phil21185 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 No offence, but are the vents open on the driver's side? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spivvy Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Yes they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Fair enough but had to ask. I did exactly that the other day before realising I'd accidentally closed the vent at some point! Does the same thing happen on the hot settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Someone posted about this a couple of weeks ago, and since then it keeps popping up on the mk3 Focus Facebook page recently as well. No-one seems to know what causes it but it affects both pre and post facelift, and manual and climate... I wonder if it's simply that the heater matrix is on the drivers side so it's warming up that side of the HVAC system a bit more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spivvy Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 that would make sense , with hot air running through it seems the same on both side it's annoying though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spivvy Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 update 3 weeks with ford and they can't diagnose the fault as it was getting worse in the recent summer it was blowing out hot air on my side and colder air on the other they don't know what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are they doing with it!? Have they drained and refilled the refrigerant yet as that seems to have helped with Iantt's on here though hasn't helped some of the people on FB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Mines perfect now. Cold both vents. That ford garage sounds pretty useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight after a 're-gas it happened. Took it back and they couldn't find how it could happen and recommended that I took it to ford. I left it for over a year until the gas had emptied as I'd not used the aircon. Had a re-gas done by another garage and had no problem after that. They did say, although I'm not sure how true this is, that if the first garage had overfilled the gas then that may have caused the problem. Hope this helps.
