My golf doesn't blow very much air on any of the
Check the adjustment wheel to see if vents are full open.Turn off centers,then feel for air on side vents..beyond this,a vacuum problem may exist in opening damper to direct air to each side,instead of center...possibly a disconnected hose under dash..get a flash light and look for a small diameter hose possibly dangling..Good luck
