Hello,

Its sounds like the air re-circulation flap motor is faulty, it can be checked in basic settings (04) using suitable diagnostic tool... Not very friendly to change though, its in a very, very, very, very, very, very, stupid place.

Good luck

Hi,

Sorry, I was answering both of your questions. The climatronic system relys on several factors when in the auto mode, the ECU needs to know the outside temeperature and the inside temperature, it also needs to know the temp' of various air ducts in the vehicle and the position of their flaps in order to calculate the required climate.

Does the AC Compressor operate in manual mode??

Sorry if I'm being dumb but i didn't think you could turn it on manually as econ turns the a/c off :1zhelp: I've noticed the cooling fans don't kick in but I've read about fitting external resistors so i intend to carry this out soon, will that stop the air con working, but when i press auto the interior light dims slightly and the revs drop.
:dunno:
Thanks
