Hi all, I'm having a problem with my air vents.
The flow from the footwell and main vents are fine and pump out normally, but the upper vents really struggle and no longer clear the windscreen.
I did recently changed the pollen filter, but that's all I've done air circulation wise. I also have had the odd occasion that all the blowers have been low and even had no heat, but that has been quite rare.
Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Could be blocked vents or the flap not diverting the air properly. possibly the blower motor on it's way out.
Have you noticed any issues with the engine temp?
Have you got the heater set to recirculate or fresh air?

I almost always have it on fresh air. The oil temp sits at 90, and the coolant temp is usually at 70-80 and raises to 90 when sat in traffic.

Seems like that could be it. I noticed this morning the passenger side of the windscreen cleared quickly, but my side took ages.
Is the flap hard to get to?
