Just wondering if anyone else has noticed any of these issues (not Cimatronic)...
I noticed a couple months ago that when the fan was off (windows down) that fairly warm air was blowing through the vents into the cabin. I thought it might've been something that I just didn't notice in the past, but then I noticed that it happens very intermittently. I know that air still flows by with the fan off, but typically it would just be air similar to outside air temps, not hot air.
Then just last weekend with the A/C on halfway between max A/C and neutral that the air wasn't cold at all and rather neutral. I turned the dial to max A/C and it began to get very cold (like it should). I put it back to the original position of halfway between max and neutral and it was disgustingly cooler than before.
Not exactly sure how these systems operate, but has anyone else experienced either of these issues? Have you brought it to the dealer to have it looked at?
My guess is the "temp" dial is a potentiometer which controls a mixing flap to regulate air temp. I'm wondering if the mixing flap (if this is how it operates) is sometimes getting lost and is causing both issues when setting "temp" and turning the fan off.
