Rear aircon

[Melyn]

Hey folks,

Since I rarely sit in the back, with aircon on full in the back, can you feel it strong like the front?

(Checking the vents at the top - neither feel like they work that great)

Coming from a conversion previous, genuinely no idea if this is normal or not

Cheers!

My rear controller is faulty and it turned the air on on full in the back and you could feel it in the front seats blowing very cold air all round the interior.

You can vary the settings for the back.

I think ours is faulty / or not working as expected, we feel no air from to top rear vents no matter how fast the fan is set, it just comes out by the floor, think will get it checked when we get time but not in a massive rush..

Yeah that’s what we are seeing. Even on max ac and level 7 it still doesn’t feel like I’d expect.

Even on setting 7 doesn’t really feel like any fan speed with ac max

On my Multivan you can direct the flow to the vents or windows. any such setting for the rear on the California?

Mines a beach so no 3 zone aircon but does have separate screens / settings for front and rear and rear has 2 top vents on the left, 2 top vents on the right (not shown here) and floor vents by the seats.. The rear ac screen shows air coming from the top either side and I think the floor..

No matter what we set it only comes out the vents by the floor..

I presume you have adjusted the knurled control above the vents?

 

[thatsnotmynaim]

Yes tried all that on all of them, no difference.. ‍

We get some airflow from the top but not much - it does cool down in the back eventually but it’s not quick like the front - just unsure what the normal in the back actually is.

Setting 7 in the back didn’t really feel like any difference

I don't have a Multivan based California but the Multivan Style with 3 Zone Climatronic so you can have separate temperatures in the cab ,L and R, and the Rear and my system controls are very different to yours.
On the more basic Multivan Life the rear system does not include AirCon Cooling just ambient to hot only.
The 3 zone Climatronic was a paid for Option.

Ok cool, thanks, that may explain it, just also did a search and it seems to suggest as you say the top vents are for heating or ambient air, but it did also suggest the bottom vent by the seat / floor may actually work, but due to it's placement its' not great so you may need to turn the rear fan up quite a bit to get anything usefully cool from it so will have a play next time, cheers again
