Hi all,

Focus Zetec Climate 2006

the speed of the air from my air vents on 1 and 2 is non-existant and speed only comes on at level 3, level 4 is faster.

What can be done to bring back the speed to level 1 and 2?

Regards all

I think a new pollen filter is in order.

A pig of a job but sounds necessary to me.

Thanks for the Reply. Sounds Expensive! What would happen if i didnt get it done apart From i guess losing air Speed on level 3 and Ultimately level 4?

brought the car in and got told its the rheostat. Or so they say. Does this seem reasonable?

will update once i get it replaced.

The cable that operates the fan speed on the heater matrix has probally bent. Bit of a swine to do. Havnt got much room to get your hands in.

Or could be a faulty panel (where you manually operate it) or the cable behind that, ive known them to be disconnected or snap before

hmmm.... the loose wire may be the case? More i think about it, i would notice a sudden increase of air flow speed and noise which i never found the reason but from memory seemed to happen when car went over a bump int the road. i think since the rheostat is on order i go with that and see what happens.

It will be the heater motor Resistor (Rheostat).

Very easy to do yourself.

EDIT: Here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1325972-Heater-Motor-Blower-Resistor-For-Ford-Fiesta-Focus-Mondeo-S-Max-Galaxy-/171454240560?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Car+Make%3AFord|Model%3AFocus|Cars+Year%3A2006&hash=item27eb781730

And here's where to find it:

Remove the glove box, disconnect the multi plug, remove 2 screws, replace the resistor & reassemble in reverse order.

Hope this helps.
