    the centre vents only ever blow cold. its how they were designed to work. get the cooling system flushed out properly, and only fit a new stat if the gauge isn't reading warm

    and everytime i step into a Vauxhall in winter i always wonder what the deal is with that, did some random vaux designer one day say;

    "I know, lets make all the centre vents blow cold air, that way everyone will get a warm right hand and cold left hand"

    at which point all the other designers started laughing while the posh one exclaimed how "astounding" that is

    Center vents dont blow cold air, they vent air in from outside the car, its to get good air circulation in and keep a supply of fresh air coming in!


    Odly, mk3 cavs have two center vents and one blows hot while the one next to it blows luke warm, very odd

    its just a throwback to the days before car makers were obsessed with computer design & air-con, which are both needed to sell a car these days...
