Air con cold but poor air flow

[Pete01]

Hi Brains Trust, 2011 GTS Auto.

Haven’t had the car very long, recently had a re-gas of the air con as it wasn’t feeling that cold. Now nice and cold but even with th fan on full we get a really poor amount of air coming trough the vents.

Anyone know what might cause this and if there is an easy fix?

Many thanks

Pete

Blocked pollen filter perhaps?

Are the vents open? Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+Del?

I'm with Catman - pull the pollen filter out (in the passenger footwell). Give it a good clean to check (also not expensive to replace). Take system off "Full Auto", set temp to coldest possible and ramp up the fans. Close the vents by the rear seats and then start directing the air to the different outlets to see if it's better or worse at the different vents. Maybe a blockage somewhere or something wrong with the air routing.

The system in the GTS is verry good but I'm never impressed with the volume of air that it pumps out. Other GTS owners have said the same.

It could be the receiver drier filter if it's never been changed.
