Post A/C doesn't blow hard-any experts?

For some reason, just today, my A/C doesn't blow as hard as it did before. It blows nice and cold, the fans are running, but it's barely pushing air out of the vents. Setting four now blows about as hard as setting 2 or maybe even one.

Is it possible a hose or tubing came undone?

Please help...

Thanks!!!!

I had the same problem back in July one day. Everything was fine, then setting #3 and #4 hardly blew anything out. It continued about 2 more times after starts/stop, and has worked fine ever since.

Good luck - could just be bad fan switch.

Unlikely, but did you move either of the slider conmtrols on the CC unit, or move the vertical flap slider in the center of the dash vent part way to the defrost position? Do you have more air flow going to the windshield or footwell than you had? Even opening / closing one of the vents on the end of the dash will make a difference.

Resurrecting an old thread for some help

I'm experiencing the same as the OP on my S2.
A/C is charged and blowing cold, and all fan level increase the speed as one would expect, but all settings feel half of what they should be.

I'm currently cleaning the Fan Speed Resistor in vinegar
as people have used to correct having setting #4 and loss of settings #1-3, but not sure yet if that is going to do anything for the half speed issue I'm having.


Any other words of wisdom?
