Hello Everyone…. Need some feedback….
When A/C is turned off and recirculated button turned off to allow fresh air into cabin, why do I still feel the air coming through the vents to be a little warm? I have even turned the temp lever to the ‘coldest’ setting and yet, the air is still a little warm. Does anyone have similar experiences? : |

Its a conspiracy, a deal between petrol companies and Ford in order to use more aircon = more petrol used /sarcasm |

Simply put, the air coming through gets warmed by your engine a little, so it's never as cool as the outside air. Every car does this to some degree.
Having no A/C also fogs up the car quicker as the humidity in the air coming in plus that which you exhale can't be removed. A/C is a de-humidifier and keeps the air dryer.

Tks guys! It's just that I had 3 cars (pulsar, corolla, prado) before my present Focus and all 3 of them did not have warm fresh air coming thru the vents at my settings described above. So I was curious ... is it due to a poor design issue or is there somthing I should ask Ford?
Thanks again for your inputs. Much appreciated. =) |

It doesn't sound like you have an issue at all. It just depends how warm it is. Honestly, if the AC works perfectly, doesn't sound like you have a problem.
