307 XT 2005 - aircon. supplies hot air

wonderd · Post by **wonderd** » 09 Mar 2010, 09:29

there is hot air coming out the vents when I turn the aircon. on.
In the engine compartment the aircon. pipes are freezing cold.
What could be the problem?

you've got the temperature control set to hot?
a/c's purpose is to dry air, cooling is a side effect we like.
give it hot air and it will cool it but not enough to make it cold unless you have super powerful a/c

The temp is set to 17C, there is warm air coming out of there, it's not supposed to.

With aircon off do you get hot or cold air?

As Cloggz pointed to, probably a sticky heater flap
