Hello all,
Does anyone have a problem with weak rear AC fan. It's almost useless. I've tried closing the front vents to see if that improves but it's minimal. Dealers says it's normal, but other pannys are not as bad.

Thanks!

Do you have 4-zone climate control? This option gets you a 2nd AC with blower and extra air vents on the B-pillar.

 

No 4 zone climate control. But I do have vents on the b pillar.

 

this one of the issues i have with panamera .. the A/C is poorley designed is useless in hot summer

 

I am glad that we test drove the Panamera on a hot day and we immediately noticed the weak AC, adding the 4-zone really helps.

 

you are very lucky you didn't test drive in winter like me .. sad dealer telling me to get use to it if i you decide to keep the car

not sure why you have 2 useless vents in the back..?

 

If you are referring the vents on the b-pillar, they are used when you have 4-zone control.

 

the back seat there is 2 vents on side and 2 in the middle

 

I've heard from dealers before that the Panamera's system is pretty weak (can't comment on 4-zone vs. without). One told me the 911 had a better system than the Panamera.

 

i was told that also and i experienced my self its very weak work on in winter and spring but not in triple digit ,, they have tons of complains some people took them to the court and won factory buy back..

 

4-zone really helps as there is a 2nd AC for the rear area, even if you do not usually carry rear passengers, 4-zone will still cool the car much faster. We have it on our Panamera. And when we bought our Cayenne we were about to purchase the diesel but due to no 4-zone option on the diesel we bought an S instead.

 

I checked yesterday and even though the air isn't full blast, air still comes out both the middle and the vents on the b-pillars (no 4-zone climate). In the summer I do keep the ventilated seats on all the time though. I have yet to use the high AC button yet.
