Default MD Mondeo Climate Control Temperature Issue

Just noticed something strange the last couple of weeks on my 2015 Mondeo Climate Control.

When i get into the car on mid 20 DegC days both the Drivers and Passengers temperature is set 20 DegC but the air coming out of right hand centre vent is warmer than the left hand centre vent.
When the vehicle was new it never really struggled on hot days but it seems to recently. I try to compensate by turning the drivers side down but it never really gets that cold.
Could it be down on refrigerant ?

I had this on a Peuegot, and it was because the refrigerant gas had a leak and was half gone. The passenger side's air intake was on the part of the radiator which still has refrigerant in it, and the drivers side was on the part that didnt.

Not sure if this is your problem, but good luck!

low refrigerant would be the first thing I would check.

Fingers crossed that's all it is and it's not a problem in the HVAC.
It's booked in today for the Air-Bag changeover and a service.
Cheers

Problem Solved. Refrigerant was low, now it's back to an Arctic Blast at 21 Deg C. Service completed and Airbag inflator changed over.

That souds great, but - refrigerant only gets to be low if there is a leak in the system... so I hope that they fixed your leak prior to filling it up again!

- and put tracer dye in the gas to help find this (or the next) leak
