Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

A couple of evenings ago, I reached the point that I had set the maximum temperature, and still it was not warm enough.

Suggestion · Original poster
I can feel a momentary increase in the flow of warm air downstairs, but almost immediately it goes back to "not warm enough", so I increase the set temp again, same effect, momentary increase, but rapidly (within 5 to 10 seconds) back to not warm enough.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is weird - my car has dual-zone climate, but I find it is almost impossible to get consistent (and sufficient) heat in the footwells. It always seems to be cold, regardless of the temperature that I set. I can feel a momentary increase in the flow of warm air downstairs, but almost immediately it goes back to "not warm enough", so I increase the set temp again, same effect, momentary increase, but rapidly (within 5 to 10 seconds) back to not warm enough. A couple of evenings ago, I reached the point that I had set the maximum temperature, and still it was not warm enough. It was a warm, top down evening too. This is not just a top down situation either, same with the top up. Have there been any airflow thermostat issues identified?

I'd say you've an airlock somewhere in the system. If it's still under warranty then get it booked in.
