Replace temp probe... but

[BruceT]

My outside temp since I bought the car use to read 48c or 52c and then '--'

Ive replaced it and its reading more realistic temps now.


Thing is, im not 100% happy.

I thought, since my car is sat in the sun the inside is quiet hot.

So I put the digital climate down to 14c and was expecting it kick in and blast cool air out?

Its on 'auto' and air to face and feet but no matter what temp I set it it doesnt seem to alter the air/fan speed to maintain/decrease/increase cabin temp etc.

When put in defrost it does increase fan speed but doesnt go onto full but I dont mind that, I will manually increase it.

Just wondered if I have to do a 're-sync' procedure or something?

ps. I was driving the car at the time no stationary.

If you'd just set off, that's correct. It needs to cool down the a/c heat exchanger before blowing hot air over it

Otherwise, I'd suggest a problem with one of the climate control temperature sensors - one in the overhead console and another in one of the footwells (one footwell has a temperature sensor, the other humidity iirc)

I see.

I travelled about 3-4 miles, just popped to the shops.


My A/C does not work anyway
