2007 Volvo S60 AWD

This morning I noticed that the driver's side blows out hot air but the passenger's side does not, no matter what the setting. Any clue on why the heat would not flow to both sides?

 

Did you turn it all the way to cold then back to hot?
Sometimes you need to do that to recalibrate the temp motors.

 

I just went out to the store and tried your suggestion, but it still blows cold on the passenger side. It gets quite hot on the driver's side, especially since it is still 67 degrees here in Orlando.

 

Another Orlando person here!!!

The motor itself might need to be recalibrated by the Dealer.

They should do it under Warranty.

 

Okay, it sounds like a trip to the Volvo Store later this week. Thanks!

 

Good Luck please give us an update after you go.
If you happen to talk to Roland tell him I said Hi (Alan Johnson)

 

The Volvo dealer found that it needs a new diaphragm, but had to order one and they will install it later this week.

One question: when they do that work (under warranty), would it be easy for them to install an iPod adapter (and save on labor), or is that a separate operation? Or will a dealer always charge separately?

 

It depends on which one they replace and where it is.
I would ask them and see what they say.

 

Last Saturday they took 2 1/2 hours and found what they thought was a defective temperature damper motor, since it would not calibrate. Today, after installing it, they found it was an internal climate control issue, so they replaced the climate control unit, did a software reload, and calibrated the damper motors. It works and it was under warranty. Of course, the temperature now has warmed up.

They also quoted $585 for the iPod adapter, and suggested that customers had very mixed views about it. That is about $400 more than I would pay for it.

 

That is a joke they had the radio almost out to do the climate module. It would have taken a short time to install it from there.

 

Unfortunately, the guys on Webster Avenue seemed quite serious about the charge for the iPod adapter. Fortunately, the heat works now on both sides, just in time for the warmer weather.

 

Yes they are very proud of their tech's that just come out of school and have no experience working on the cars!! They are only book smart.
