after 40 minutes or so of my air con working the air flow drops down to almost nothing. It isnt the fan because i can still hear it.

 

Its almost as if the cold air is going......................somewhere else!

 

If i turn it off for 10 minutes it seems to work again.

 

Has anyone experienced a similar problem if so any help greatly appreciated.

Do you press auto? Cos it will turn off when the temperature you set it to is reached inside the car.

thank you stuart,

 

i know i really know nothing technical about cars - but no it's not on auto.

 

asume its set at 10'C with full fan - loads of fan noise - no air.

p.s.

 

it doesnt change if you alter the vent settings either

Has anyone experienced a similar problem

Yes, I have exactly the same problem, not got a clue why it does this. I have done the air con diagnosys and everything checks out O.K. Also do you notice a difference in the airflow/blower motor when at idle and cruising? I've decided that it's normal and just ignore it but it's very odd when you can hear the blower whirring away and next to nil airflow anywhere. No help but it's not just you.

hi peter,

 

no i havent noticed a difference in the fan speed but its good to know its not just me.

 

i'm going to have to get it sorted though it was hot enough today and i'm taking the zed down to spain in september.

 

anyone any ideas?

In addition, I always have it set to auto 25'C, when the weathers hot it cools down O.K. for a while then the the blower rumbles on with virtually no airflow but it's deffo above 25'C, when the weathers cold it heats up for a while then the blower rumbles on with virtually no airflow but it's deffo below 25'C.

bump...............anybody help me?
