Low Airflow through ducts with blower working. Heat behind radio.
Hello,
First post long time lurker.
I have an issue with my vent system.
no matter what climate I use (A/C/Heat) I get minimal airflow.
I replaced the cabin air filter and know the blower is working, I can hear it roaring.
The minimal airflow I get the air does heat / cool very well.
The airflow does slightly change depending how high the blower is on.
to add to my confusion, behind my radio/center console it gets very hot when the heat is on.
I have a pop out cup holder and when I take it out after the heaters been on for a while it is very hot.
Im concerned that a pipe cracked or something behind there that’s causing a leak preventing proper air flow? If that’s a thing.
Is there any good resources on where to find and inspect the vent flaps / pipe without removing the dash?
I will answer any questions or extra info needed, thank you!
edit: sorry I have a 2003 XC70 with dual climate
