Touareg :: Climatronic System - Cold Air Blowing Only On Passenger Side

I have a 2004 Touareg with a 2-zone climatronic system. A while back (hard to quantify exactly), my wife noted that she couldn't ever get warm on her side. I stuck a temperature sensor in the vents and cycled through the temperature settings on both sides. On the driver's side, the air varied with the setting. On the passenger side, it did not.

The absolute biggest problem I'm having, is that here in Florida, I get ice cold air blowing on the bottom of the windshield which causes significant fogging. I can adjust the air to blow away from the windshield, but I obviously get some "blow around" and end up with spots of condensation on the outside of the window. The condensation is almost solely on the passenger side.

I pulled the dash off and replaced the temperature sensor on the passenger side. It actually fixed the problem -- but that "fix" only seemed to last about two or three weeks. After measuring temperatures, the temperature tracked with the setting -- on both sides. Now, the problem has returned and I'm ready to replace the damper motor for the mixing damper on the passenger side. But, after reviewing the eBahn manual, they need the VAS 5051/5052 to intiate a "service position". . . I obviously don't have the VAS 5051.

So, my questions: Is it damper actuator? I also understand the climatronic module "could" be bad. Could the second temperature sensor have actually gone bad? Can the VAG-COM be used to intiate the service position? If not, what are my options?

Touareg :: AC Only Blowing Warm Air

I have a 2004 4.2. Touareg A/C is only blowing warm air. I ran Vag-com no codes. I used a gauge to check refrigerant ,the system was empty. I added refrigerant, i could see it increase and then decrease immediately. The A/C then work for a while then started blowing warm again. Used the gauge again ...empty. I then noticed clear oil on the ground. There is a drip from underneath front drivers side , looks like from a small silver canister by radiator.

I'm thinking about adding dye and looking for the leak. Is this A DIY fix or should I just take it to a mechanic. I've replaced the timing belt, brakes, drive shaft and a few other repairs. I hate taking this car to a mechanic, they always have issues.

Touareg :: 2004 - AC Not Blowing Enough Air

My 2004 Touareg is not blowing enough air through the a/c. Even if I set the fan at manual the flow of air is not hard enough thus cooling the air takes forever. The dealer mentioned some plastics flaps behind the main dash that are broken!!!! Also in order to change those they claim to have to take out the whole dash minimum 8-10 hours of labor. does it make sense?????

Touareg :: AC Occasionally Blowing Warm

Brought my Touraeg in due to a/c occasionally blowing warm. Works 95% of the time. Also, while driving pops up warning light that says "Electronics: Consumers being shut off" this seems to somewhat coincide with the a/c issue. Dealer just called and said I have leaves in my system and need new pollen filter---- and not covered by warranty--- Does not make sense to me-- first we have covered parking and limited leaves in area--- also if leaves then why would it work perfectly sometimes and not others?

Passat (B5) :: A/C Isn't Blowing Cold Air

I have a 2004 Passat 1.8T and I am having issues with my a/c. it isn't blowing cold air. The first time it happened, I paid to have it recharged and it worked for 2 weeks then it went on the fritz again. I had the gas pressure checked and it is at a regular level. The second cooling fan comes on when the a/c is turned on, the fuse and the relay are also good. I checked the a/c pressure sensor and it is also working properly. I suspect that there is a valve or sensor that has seized up (due to the temporary addition of refrigerant). I also scanned the HVAC for fault codes and the only fault is an air flap position motor.

Gmc :: Yukon AC Blowing Hot Air Instead Of Cold

My A/C wasn't working (blowing hot air instead of cold), so I had some repairs done. First I was told it was some sort of bracket, replaced that. Then the guy told me it was the compressor, replaced that. About $1K later, he returned the vehicle to me, and the A/C worked about one hour, and even then wasn't super cold. I have since had the freon level checked and there are no leaks, everything seems to be OK, it just doesn't cool.

Ford A/C :: No Cold Air Blowing At All?

Over the past few days my A/C has gotten progressively warmer to the point it's not blowing cold at all. Early summer I checked the low side pressure and it was at around 30 while running. I added a can to bring it up to 35-40. Blew ice cold air all summer. Now when I check the low side pressure it's around 40 when off. When I run it, the compressor short cycles. When the compressor kicks on, the pressure drops real low (LOW on my guage). When the compressor kicks off, the pressure goes up to about 55-60 then drops back down low for the 2 or 3 seconds until it kicks off. Thought I might have a leak but after seeing the system pressurized like this, i don't think so.

Touareg :: 2004 - AC Blowing Hot Air / Battery Light Came On

Last Friday, as I was on the way to a very important appointment (closing on my house that on the market for 7 MONTHS!), my Treg decides to stop running at the stoplight. I turned the vehicle off and on and nothing. The aircon is blowing hot air and the car would not start. After 4 attempts the car starts up. The battery light comes on.

In front of my house the Treg stalls again and this time the power steering goes out. I start it up again and make it home. I call VW Roadside and they were very useful and got a flatbed out to my place within 1 hour.

They tow it to Advantage VW and they run all sorts of diagnostics on the vehicle and test drive the vehicle 3 times. Nothing shows up. The service manager (Scott - awesome service) states that there is nothing wrong with the Treg and tells me to pick it up.

I show up and I start up the car and blast the AC (it's Texas and it's HOT). I wait for the AC to kick in and nothing....I return the car to service and I get a phone call 2 days later stating that they talked to VW Tech and now they are in the process of replacing the compressor, evap, expansion valve - pretty much the entire AC system.

Volvo :: Car Is Blowing Cold Air But No Heat At All

My car is blowing cold air but no heat at all. I checked the codes and it's throwing a B1 1-3-1. It's also throwing a A7 1-2-2. a buddy of mine is a mechanic but not too familiar with Volvo's. But he said that he thinks the B1 1-3-1 Driver's side air duct short is the problem. Is this the problem and how do I fix it?

Golf IV R32 :: AC Turned On But No Cold Or Hot Air Blowing Out

Today I got in the car and turned on the ac, got no air blowing. Turned the ac off and the heat up, still nothing. I assume the blower is shot or maybe the fuse? I could hear the vents switching from top to bottom as I changed it but no air coming out. Where would the fuse be? What to check? Engine cooling fans replaced last year and working.

Phaeton :: Cold A/C Blowing Only On One Side

100 degrees in Florida a couple days ago and I pop the ol' AC and chilled seats on. It is like a blowdryer on my face. Uh-oh.

After pushing multiple buttons and settings, I can't get the air cold....except on the right side of the car.

The right/center vent and far right vent in the front, and the rear passenger right vent will blow cold, while the left/center, far left, and rear left vent blow warm-hot air. Tried everything from Low to 70 to 74....same results. The right side will adjust up to heat if I put it on hot air matching the left side.

Are there two compressors in the car? Is there a stuck vent? Fuse issue? Something more sinister?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: AC Not Blowing Cold Air

So it's finally been nice this week, only problem was it was Humid as it poured for more than 24 hrs the day before. I tried using my Ac but all it was doing was blowing warm air. I figured it was the car being hot since it it black and it was sunny & I did have the car running. I tried using the Ac yesterday and it was blowing slightly colder air but still warm. I don't know what the problem is and so I went to my moms elantra to compare since we have the exact car just different colors and her car was blowing air as if it was straight from the arctic.

Ford A/C :: Heater Blowing Cold Air

Heater is blowing cold air. What I have checked, coolant level, replaced water pump and thermostat, checked blend door, flushed heater core. When I checked the blend door via the heater treator method I was getting hot air coming off the core but also getting very cold air coming from the A/C evap in side the plenom box. I also pulled the fuse for the A/C clutch and I am still getting cold air. I am look at replacing the HVAC contol.

Ford A/C :: Cold Air Only On Max Settings Otherwise Blowing Hot

Suddenly yesterday, my AC was blowing hot air on every setting except for Max AC. When on Max AC, then heater control valve closes but with just AC, it opens back up. for floor, defrost, etc. seems to work just fine, but it blows engine hot air at those places except for Max AC.

It seems as though the temperature control is stuck in hot or quit working all together, AND (I'm guessing here) that Max AC overrides the temperature control? That's the only thing that make sense to me.

Touareg :: Mechanical Sound While Stopping / Accelerating - A/C Blowing Hot Air

I have the 2 zone auto climate control system.

1. When I come to a stop, there is a mechanical sound coming from behind the central vents as though a flap is trying to move. After I accelerate, I hear it for a a little longer but then it eventually goes away but returns again when I stop. I usually leave the setting in auto but even manually manipulating the controls doesn't seem to get rid the noise.

2. For a high end system with automatic climate control, it is a pretty crappy system. Main gripe is in the morning, let's suppose it's 12 deg C / 55 deg F outside and the system is set for 20 deg C / 70 deg F, it insists on blowing hot air!!! It's as though it's sensing the outside temp or ovber compensating. Eventually after 10 - 15 minutes everything settles down.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: AC Blowing Hot Air If Temperature Is Not Set To Max Cold

I have a 2004 2nd generation Toyota Harrier (Lexus model RX330). The A/C blowing hot air if temperature is not set to Max Cold. This happened no matter whether turn on the A/C with Auto or Manual setting. This case also happen no matter whether setting the A/C system to Dual mode or not, no matter whether turn on or off the air intake control button.

As long as A/C on, cold air only come out when temperature set to Max Cold, even if set to 18 degree, full hot air come out. Another thing is, say I have the A/C on, set to max cold, cold air came out from the front vent, but after I try to increase the temperature to say 18 degree, the hot air flow will change to Floor/Windshield mode.

Could it because due to the change of the battery? Is there anything need to reset after replacing the battery?

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: A/C Not Blowing Cold Air All The Time

It seems my A/C isn't blowing cold air all the time. It's as if the compressor isn't kicking on or is intermittent. It eventually does, but it takes a long time to cool the vehicle. I've had it about 6 years and it has definitely changed. Vehicle is an '04 with 106K now.
