Newbie Owner

Post by Lee406 »

Hey all

I'm Lee, 22 from Cornwall. Drive a 2002 406 HDi 110 Executive Estate. Full cream leather mmmm.. :cheesy:

Only probs with the car that are bugging me are the 'Anti-Pollution' warning light and the Climate Control works when it wants too.. :|

Cheers

Hi Lee, welcome aboard :cheesy:

The climate working when it wants too is a "feature", something to do with the humidity inside the car... Anyway, best leave it alone as the last thing you want is condensation forming on electronics...

Anti pollution faults are the bane of modern cars, not had much experience myself (touches large lump of oak) but many have, so hold on for an intelligent response or use our unusually helpful search function :wink:

The climate control works well on 30 degrees, but the car quickly becomes a sauna.. on any other temperature it just blows cold.. :|

Welcome on in Lee! :)
Are you getting the correct reading from the outside temp sensor? Also there is a little sampling fan up inside the courtesy light unit, these get clogged up but can be cleaned out.

Hello, Lee & Welcome 8)

There's quite a few potential causes for the old ANTIPOLLUTION FAULT, but, (unlike mine), your 110 is immune from the really expensive ones. If you're only getting the odd warning and no limp mode, I'd be tempted to leave it until it becomes a solid fault or you are able to get it diagnosed relatively cheaply once you know your way around a bit better.
