02 EVC blowing hot air through the rear foot vent
|
Hello, I am trying to see if anyone can help pinpoint this problem. I
went to look at a 02 EVC today ,and went through all the equipments. Here is one problem and I don't know if it is a simple repair or an extensive one. I don't have access to a Bentley manual. Anyways, the rear vent at passenger foot well is blowing hot air. I was testing to make sure the rear have air conditioner but apparently it doesn't. There are 2 controller in front (top). I made sure it is turn towards the blue (left), but as I turn on the fan (right) it blows out hot air and not cold. I presumed the control knob for the rear is not working. However I am wondeing if that is controlled via cable or an electronic one. If electronic is it cheap to replace? Thanks for the help. |

If you're looking at an EVC, the Winnebago Camper, they don't have rear air conditioners. The black floor vent just behind the front passenger seat is only a heater vent. It is controlled from a multi-speed switch on the dash. Although they only have front air conditioners, they do a realtively good job at cooling even people in the rear, and I live in Texas.

weekender. I can only speak for the Weekender but there is NO AC in the rear. blue will get you room temperature at best. BUT when the car is hot the exhaust warms up the air box under the car and at that point temp is hot no matter what you do. It could be something more (like the heat exchanger open all the time but I would bet its the above. Florian 03 MVWK --- In ev_update@..., "turbocivicdx" <turbocivicdx@...> wrote:

Not only is there no rear AC in the ECV, that vent duct passes right next to the exhaust pipe so it will get extra warm!

There was a tip in the Files section on how to insulate the duct but I don't see it right now. Dave Richoux 2000 EVC On May 14, 2008, at 3:55 PM, KG KIRKLEY wrote:

There is no valve on the heater hoses that go to that core on my '97 EVC, so
it always has hot air coming out if you turn the fan on. Insulating the exhaust won't help. You can make an in-line valve out of copper and brass plumbing parts and install it in the hose by the heater (lower hose) if you want to cut off the flow in summer. But that will require you to get under the van to turn it on and off twice a year! Stuart _____ Hello, I am trying to see if anyone can help pinpoint this problem.
