We have seen many QP6/Ghibli/Levante now and they have faired well but one issue keeps coming back. After a search round on the net, there is nothing definitive so I thought I would start one.
Item 3 (4 in total) in the above are the motorised actuators that perform various functions that move and change the air about.
The above drawing is form a LHD car so you have to mirror it.
The main box at the front houses 3 actuators, the single lower one is responsible for hot or cold to the passenger and regularly fails
The one at the back on the separate fan unit is the RECIRC air...as in fresh from outside or from the cabin.
We had a Levante in that was fogging the screen and during my web searching loads of others are having the same problem.
The is a failed resurc actuator which basically is stuck recirculating damp air and thus fogging the cabin.
The upper pair on the main unit I have yet to replace but these are for the distribution of the air, up, down or middle for each side.
Anyway, this may help a few out there with weird HVAC issues.
Getting to them and changing them is another matter.
Both the RECIRC and Pass temp one you can remove the lower tray and glove box and with a lot of swearing and skin missing from your knuckles, they can be done but I suspect the uppers will be dash out.
