Hi Guys, I seem to have a problem with my XC GS air vents. I cannot get any fresh air from outside to come through the vents? Seems only screen vent is working. The car has air con controls but the compressor is off the car.Manual says to have controls on the max or fresh position which i have.A mate says there are some vacuum lines that need to be connected for the vents to open?Can anyone tell me were and what they could be?
