Hi Everyone,
I have never done one of these threads and not sure if someone can help but I have a 2.0 TDI DSG Mk7 and I have gone on a long journey over the weekend 200+ miles each way and on both legs of the journey I had an issue with my ventilation system. I have had this issue once last summer and it has cropped up again now. doesn't seem to happen when driving around town or on short journeys.
I have a Golf Match with a normal Air Conditioning system. No special climate control or anything like that. Jut three knobs, one for temperature, one for fan speed (1 - 6) and one for vent location. I was driving at speeds of between 50 - 80 mph for most of the journey. The fan setting was on 3 and cooling the car perfectly and then all of a sudden, the air coming out became really weak and even if I have it on 6, I can hear the fan motor being loud but not a lot of air comes out of the vents. I also tried it with the A/C button on and off but the issue persists. I turn the whole system off for a while and open the windows and when I turn it back on it works fine. Gave me the issue once on my way there and twice on my way back.
I usually drive the car in Eco mode but read online that it does something to the A/C to ensure the car is as efficient as possible but I drove half the journey in normal mode yesterday and the issue didn't go away.
Can someone please let me know what I can try before I take it to a garage and spend a lot of money on all the diagnostics.
Thank you
