Hi Mini owners . I own a 2005 R50 LHD , ex Redbull mini with manual transmission and I have an issue with the Air con blowing colder out of the passenger vents and not so cold out of the two driver vents .. recently had the AC compressor cease so I replaced it with a new one , I replaced the condenser and the expansion valve . I noticed hot air blowing out from around the heat core area near the gas pedal when I have the vents on.. I have a feeling that it is somehow related to my issue .. my question is before I take the HVaC out to look at the flaps inside .. is there an easier solution that someone can suggest .. I have taken the evaporator out 3 years ago and replaced that with a new one.
appreciate any and all suggestions.

Marc
