Rear Air Con

[Rollin over]

My 2010 HSE is blowing warm air from top air vents in roof (2nd row) while the control is set to cold. Doesn't matter if the driver has control or the people in the back. Is this normal or as I think should be cold?

Any feedback would be of help. Oh the booklet is of no use on this matter.

Cheers

Rollin Over,
I know you said the control is set to cold, but do you mean the roof one or the front console one?
The roof has a temperature controller as well, not sure if you know.

Cheers

Yeah Pete we had the rear controller set on cold and fan Hi, and up front we had the air at 20c auto and the rear was off auto. Spoke to my dealer but they aren't sure if the top vents are meant to blow cold air or just warm air.

Did an experiment for you (only owned it a week so wanted to see what it did) on my 2005 D3 HSE rear air. Note engine was not hot.

Turned front to full hot on auto setting in front. Rear was set to control by back controls.

Front was blowing normal temp air (room temp but defiantly not cold). Rear was set on cold temp setting.

The rear was blowing freezing cold air.

Hope it helps.

Did the same sort of experiment.
Had the front on auto 24 & the rear on manual mode set to cold cold & it blew cold cold cold refrigerated air.
Yoikes !

From my understanding the rear air has its own air con unit, but does it share the same compressor? if so it shouldn't be too bad should it?

Had tried ac again today and confirmed the top vent feel like its blowing hot air when controls are set to cold, had to turn it off. ac pipes under car are hot and both pipes in quarter panel are hot. Hope the boys at LR Newcastle can find the problem.
