Default Aircon colder for passenger

Bit of a random one. But my aircon has started taking ages to be cold on the drivers side, but is really cold for the passenger out of their two vents. I think it is since it had a service a couple of weeks ago. I thought I would post on here to see if anyone has had similar issues before I take it back to the garage. Could it be a pollen filter was installed incorrectly?

Any help appreciated.

I doubt it…. more like the blend door actuator, a blender motor or a control module.
Seeing the DTCs would be helpful.

Cheers

Try cycling all the vent positions on the climate screen. Try cycling the temp settings up and down on both sides - something might be sticking.

Upon start up on hot days I think its smart to press auto and recirculate. Then when you are feeling almost comfortable, take off the recirculate and leave the auto on. If I feel still a little bit hot, I point a vent to my face for only a second or two, to be reassured.

I like to keep recirculate on most of the time.
