Last September my Fiat dealer apparently cleaned out my air vents because when i used to turn the heating/air on it used to make a groaning noise. Fiat said that leaves could be stuck somewhere. Anyways they did the service and fixed the noise but however I noticed that not much air comes through the vents now. Before when i used to put it on number 4 lots of air used to gush through now there seems little difference in the number settings. I havent been driving my car very much now i am back at home working in the city; so the lack of air has not really bothered me.

I really do not want to give my car back to my Glyn Hopkin Fiat dealer, its alright to get the car serviced there but i would hate giving them even more money!

Please can anyone help and guide me on what to do.

Thanks!

PS

I have a 1.2 Active Stilo 53 reg.

Blocked Pollen filter?
 
Defo sounds like pollen filter.
The wifes went for a service and I asked for the pollen filter to be done, at the extra cost of £50.
Service done. While in the garage turned blower on and not much difference at all. Asked why this is and they said it's just the way it is and they are not very good.
So decide the other day after a few months would have a look myself.
Got the pollen filter out, full of black dust, Blasted it with air and vacumed and knocked it out. Put it all back in and blimey it's blowing a force 9 gale now(y). So if I was you take it out youtdelf and give it a good clean and see if it makes a difference.
 
Can you hear the fan speed up as you turn it up. If you can, change the pollen filter. If not then something else is wrong.
Maybe the heater fan has packed up.
Search the forum for heater fan and there should be some info on getting it out and fixing the possibly corroded connections.
