Climate Airflow Direction issues?

[gamerdood123]

Hi all, me again!! This car is slowly turning it to a absolute nightmare!

So when I set the climate unit to feet only, air does come out the feet but at the same time it comes out of these two flaps facing you (at all fan speeds), not the two in the middle tho! I also believe it does this when on windscreen but do need to check again! Is this normal or should I get warrenty on it?

Have reset HVAC flaps by pressing the buttons on unit, just seems wierd it's the end two either side!

Thank you!

The drivers side is considerably worse than passanger side, and does seem to constantly be blowing as if the flap isn't completely closed

The drivers flap always blows some air out on mine whether it is selected or not. Not sure if it's a bad design or it is meant to do it. I haven't ever checked the passenger one to see if that does the same.

I'm 50 50 if you OBDeleven you can check and calibrate the flaps then at least it might give you an idea of any of the flaps have came away.
If they have I wouldn't get them fixed unless the car is in warranty as it's usually a dash out job

checked mine last night, and on feet only distribution I can still feel air out of both drivers and passengers side vents, and not through the centre vents,, although reduced flow compared to when on face distribution.
There is also a side vent for your side windows so I suspect this is by design so your side windows can't steam up.

Thabk you all for your reply, much apprichiate!

Car is under warrenty with pergeot (I bought from a pergeot dealer), so they said they'd take a look.

It does appear to be reduced pressure compared to when facing me. It does It both in feet and windscreen, but more powerful when on feet action than windscreen! If I put the blower on the top 3 fan speeds when on feet, no matter where I point the fan by driver I can feel it, and putting hand Infront of it, it does appear quite powerful! Almost equivalent to what I can feel on feet in drivers side, less so on passanger, thinking maybe when I've calibrated hvac on the climate unit by pressing ac and face direction button together maybe it can't sense the air from that one because steering wheel blocking it? Just an idea! Thanks all for your help!

No, when you 'calibrate' the HVAC is just moves all the flaps over a full cycle from max and min to ensure the computer knows exactly the position of the flaps - it doesn't know/measure air flow.
Distribution Flaps can get stuck/stiff over time - especially ones which aren't moved very often. Probably good to cycle them from time to time - so hot to cold and through each of the direction buttons.
The direction flaps can't completely close off the side face vents as these ALSO feed the small side window vents. If the side face vent is providing too much air just close it down a little
