Ray1965 10 Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Replaced the heater fan today and thermal resistor as only working on number 4 speed (nice wiki how to do on the forum, worth it's weight in gold again :thumbleft:) and i have also been trying to tackle and solve an annoying lack of air flow on both the windscreen and floor positions on the passenger side of the car. I would have thought it would have been ok as it is nearest to the fan motor. Has anyone got a diagram of the lay out? maybe it is a flap issue? any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. (Car has no air-con). Edited November 1, 2016 by Ray1965 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted November 1, 2016 I'd have thought the poor airflow would be down to the controls not operating the flaps correctly. My controls needed a complete cleaning and sorting, and the bottom cog of the heater box was broken so things didn't move as they should. Once that was sorted, mine is all good. Although I have taken the box out like others, cleaned and replaced the foam on all the flaps. Also I've learnt not to force the controls round whilst on maximum speed as the resistance seems high and I don't want to break it again.

g0ldf1ng3r 13 Posted November 2, 2016 i would imagine there is a gap somewhere along the LHS side of the air tunnel (so to speak) the air flow up out of the central heater box pretty much in a big T - where the 2 sides slot onto the middle section if there is a gap between where they join the air escapes & you get low flow - i know this as when Stealth had to put a new matrix in the VR i initially had poor air flow on LHS & Vince found it to be the air tunnel was not quite tight you may be able to remove the glove box & lower passenger shelf to get enough room to see the tunnel & maybe give it a jiggle if you want to visualise it, there is a photo on my build thread of the dash out & you can see the T air tunnel jobbie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk my mechanic has mentioned quite a few time about turning the air flow down to minimum before adjusting the air direction - as like you say there is a level of resistance which can break the adjusters Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray1965 10 Posted November 2, 2016 Cheers Goldie, had a look under the dash whilst i was fitting new heater blower/ motor but can't see anything really, have you got the page number on your build thread? for the pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
