Hello!
Just got back from a trip to Rialto Beach/2nd, 3rd, etc and finally let someone else drive the Disco on the way back. Outside temps were about 80 and while sitting in the passenger seat, the upper AC vents were noticeably warmer and the foot vent blew hot air even when put on just the upper vents.
First thought was that since the heater core tubing is there, its excess heat from that but since the upper vents also were warmer im not so sure and leaning towards the actual dual zone passenger AC dial. While on the road, i opened the glove box and fiddled with the plastic pieces that move some of the vents around but couldn't get it to go cooler. i did get the floor vent to calm down a bit but the top vents were still warmer with AC blowing.
My questions are:
Is this normal for the passenger side to be warmer due to the heater core tubing?
Is there potentially a fault in the airflow on the passenger side?
If i were to completely bypass the heater core in summer time, what issues may arise?
The car itself is running cool for warmer weather (188-194, HW and idle).
Thanks!
