Nope... never got to the bottom of it. But, Ive stopped using my car for long journeys (change in work) so that most of my journeys are now sub 1 hr so I dont notice it these days.

I thought this sounded a bit crazy but it seems to have woked. Someone suggested closing the vent on top of the dash. I'm not sure what it actuallly does to help but I drove for over an hour yesterday and the issue seems to have vanished. It's a weird one :/

Top vent takes away all the air to the screen for whatever reason I don't know but once closed, all the air circulation is back to the main vents. Not sure if that's how it's meant to be as I've not rear the handbook yet lol but that's what I figured out after nearly 3 months driving it with less air on the vents.

Sorry yes I know what it does in relation to the air flow but I can't see how having it shut makes the fan work correctly. Last week after an hour of driving I had no air out of any vents. Now I close the top vent and everything works perfectly.haha

r5gtt:
Maybe it's down to the flap motor but I can't be 100% on that sorry AliGTI
Flap motors are cheap on ebay under £20 used.

figured it out at last hahaha... when switched to the top vent, it allows full air to clear the screen doh  :stupid:
