Re: Possible S40 Problem? S40-V40 2001

Of the current Volvo line-up, the S/V40s are the only models that I have (also) noticed this.

As far as the air coming in through the vents when the fan is set on "0", the problem is not that the fan is still running. Outside air is rushing through the vents as the car moves. I bet when you stop, nothing comes out of the vents. If this bothers you, then push the RECIRCULATION button and that "problem" will seize.

As far as the difference in temperature when you have everything in "AUTO" rather than the manual mode, that is attributed to the automatic climate control (when in AUTO) that is mixing different amounts of cold and warm air at different times in order to achive as optimally as possible (inside the cabin) the temperature that the computer dictates by what you have set the temperature selector at. When you are on manual mode, that changes. One reason why I do not really like the "AUTO" mode and never use it on either my car or any of my demos.

Lastly, I have no answer about the different amount of air when you have the windows either up or down. Perhaps, someone else can explain this.
