A bit of a weird one.
Wifes 63 plate Panda 4x4 diesel has around 32,000 miles on clock, had it since new.
For the last couple of months we've had issues with the ventilation.
Has the basic system with a/c.. nothing fancy, don't know if any kind of climate control was an option
All seems to work fine in terms of the basic controls, so fan speeds, a/c on/off and directing the flow
Occasionally, usually 15 to 20 minutes into a drive, the fan seems to ramp itself down so that virtually nothing is coming out of the vents. Also noticed a few times (most notably when I borrowed it to go to work in the cold snap) that right from start, I couldn't get a decent flow out of the vents even on highest setting.
To test this we've put the system on full fan, full, cold, with a/c on and driven it with icy cold air howling out of the central vents. Not touching the ventilation controls after around 15 mins, the thing ramped down over, maybe a couple of minutes until virtually nothing coming out of the vents, literally hardly enough to feel with your hand a few inches away. I then tried switching the temperature up to full heat and after a delay of around 20 to 30 seconds the fan ramped up again.
Had it to garage yesterday, but they didn't actually listen to my description I carefully gave them and so just kept it for a day and handed it back saying it was working
Any ideas ?
