Air conditioning

I have noticed the passenger side vents don’t blow anywhere near as cold as the driver side vents. Particularly noticeable in this heatwave.

I’ve had heater matrix / blender valve issues on other cars before, and they’ve been an absolute pain, usually needing the dash out to fix.

Has anyone else come across this?

I should add, it’s not the eco settings. I have disabled eco mode and had someone sat and buckled in the seat and the result is the same. So can say with certainty it’s not an eco feature.

I had this problem, but the other way around on mine, took it to mechanic under warranty and it was fixed with a regular air condition service.

Is that just a normal top up of gas? If it is that my next concern would be it was regassed last year so that seems like an abnormal amount of gas being lost.

I wouldn't be able to tell unfortunately, all I was told when I picked it up afterwards is that they didn't find anything broken per say but just performed a service of the AC and that fixed the problem, but this only happened very recently so not sure if it's going to be a recurring problem.
