Hi just wondering if anyone's had any issues with there VF a/c had vents on 23deg drivers was hot and passenger was cold, took to dealer who said a/c was low on gas they only reclaimed 100grams and then recharged with 450g of gas still takes ages for a/c to get cold. With only 100 grams of gas in system would a/c even work with low pressure sensors. I've read other posts who had similar problems can anyone tell me how there problem was rectified.

Are you sure the two zone weren't set to different temperatures?

I haven't had that problem, however my rear vents only blow out hot air - no matter what the climatae control is set to!

Both where set to 23 degrees

Do people use their air conditioner when wanting heat? I only ever turn it on when I want to cool the car.

I have had the same issue.

To me it appears to be a software glitch.

I have turned off the HVAC system and turned it back on again for it to work ok again.

Yes. It removes moisture out of the air which is what is required when your front and side windows fog up.

I never use the air con when I have the heater going (pretty much most of winter). I find if I keep my windscreen clean on the inside it never fogs up!

I have experienced the problems that members have mentioned. I have got around the issue by turning off the car and then restarting the car then the temperature control seems to work ok. Maybe the HVAC system is windows based just joking
