air flow through air condition system - SEAT Cupra.net

megahz · 08-05-2007, 20:24

Hello, I am facing a problem with my Leon and I am wondering whether I am doing something wrong or my car has a problem.

With aircondition turned off while driving air is flowing in the car. why is that happening? is it normal? I don't think so.. any comments on this?

I get this too. Often it is hotter or colder than I need, which is annoying. I have the aircon off, as its a nice temperature, and then hot air comes in, meaning I need to turn the aircon on. (well only ECON)

well iisnt it just air being forced through the vents?
Can you just close the vents using the wheel on each vent.

Yeah you can do that, but if you don't lean over to the passenger side as well, it still gets warm in the car. Haven't really checked if it still blows on the windscreen..

I tried closing all vents but what about the windscreen? that one you cannot close.

I think is a problem of the car, what you think?

When the heating is turned off on a car, I like the way some hot air still sort of comes through the vents, keeps the temp of the car up without having the heating blowing.. If it bothers you, turn the fan on to its lowest setting, and set the desired temp then you wont notice it..

IMO you are just being fussy lol =p

I have also noticed this trickle ventilation effect when its switched off. However its always cool air, never noticed it being hot. The only vent that bothers me is the one next to my right hand, and when it does I just direct the vent towards the window.

I don't see it as a fault.
