About 18 months ago I had the classic DCCV valve problem of hot air coming out of the drivers vent and cool air coming out of the passenger side. I took it in and had the DCCV valve replaced and all was well until about a month ago when the same symptoms reoccured. I took it back in and they replaced the valve. That didn't fix the issue so they replaced the main control unit. Still having the same issue. I'll be driving along and suddenly hot air will be blowing out of the drivers vent and the left side center vent. Also, hot air will be coming from the floor vent. It's back at the dealer now and they can't seem to find the issue. All the work has been covered by my ESP warranty, but they can't seem to figure this problem out. Does anyone have any insight into this? It's an 04 v6. Thanks in advance for any insights into this problem.

1. Did they replace it with a new valve, or a used one? A warranty shop might try to cut corners with a junkyard valve.

2. Improper bleed, perhaps?
