Car is a 2015 Passat SEL with 99,300 miles.
Heater core was replaced in October of 2020 and the heat was back to normal.
During January of this year I lost air flow from the center vents. I found a procedure to reset the servo and it responded to the button pressing sequence though there was not change to the center vent air flow.
I lived with it since I use the car mainly to get back and forth work, 100 miles a day. I'm the only passenger >95 % of the time.
Yesterday I turned the AC on and only the Driver side vent was cold and with a good volume of air. The center left was greatly reduced in temp & airflow getting worse at the center right vent and warm at the passenger side vent.
Does this sound like the center servo controlled flapper that I've read about here?
It's kind of weird that the AC gets worse from driver's side to the passenger's just as with the bad heater core the heater's temperature declined from driver to passenger side. The heater core failure did not impact the volume of air moving through the system though.
