V40 Blower to Windscreen Poor??

    Hi,

    I have a 4 year old V40 that I have owned for about 6 months. It has
    electronic climate control which, as far as I am aware, is working ok but I
    have an issue with the blast that the blower gives to the windscreen.

    Previous cars I have had i.e. Ford Sierra, Peugeot 405, Renault 25, Nissan
    Primera etc have never left me in any doubt but with the V40 I feel that the
    blast is not what it should be. The fan is fine as the blast from facia
    vents is what I expect, but to the screen it is poor. In general use on a
    journey it is adequate and keeps the screen clear but on these damp cold
    mornings that we get here in the UK I often struggle to clear the screen for
    4 or 5 miles.

    I do have the aircon on and recirc off, and yes the recirc does seem to be
    switching between on and off correctly.

    I realise this is largely subjective but can anyone tell me if the blower to
    the screen is known weak or if I have a problem and what it might be please?

    Regards.
    Roger.
