Hi, just an update:

 

Spent the morning disassembling the dash to poke around and see what I can see. Blend door actuator is functioning, it moves when I change the dial from hot to cold. Blower motor is working great, everything else under there looks good.

 

Doing further research online, I see some cars have an “air mix actuator”, is this something our cars have/something that would explain my situation?

 

Also, for what it’s worth, the shiny silver tube right by it is really hot.

Hi all,

 

Yesterday as I was driving home I realized that my AC blows ice cold in every vent except my driver's side vents, and it has been doing this for about a week now, I just thought it needed recharged until I felt the passenger vents.

 

After doing some research, I've seen stuff saying it could be one of the little doors inside the vents that is stuck closed or something, I've seen stuff saying its an actual problem with the AC system (specifically a bad o-ring), I've seen all kinds of stuff.

 

Driver's side is blowing just as strong as passenger side. Seems almost like a dual zone climate with ac on passenger side only, but that isnt the case.

 

2011 Legacy 2.5i Premium, single zone climate control. Any and all input is appreciated!!

New spark plugs and reusable dry air filter to celebrate our one year anniversary! Haha. Also discovered the spark plug tube seal on cylinder 2 leaks a little bit, so cleaned it out and will take care of that soon.

Changed out the rear diff fluid and gearbox oil, tomorrow is carpet scrubbing/vacuuming and WeatherTech install, plus an outside wash!

I was hoping last week was going to be the last snow, but tomorrow's forecast says otherwise..
