mc5 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Does anyone have any ideas on what this issue could be. When I set the temperature to less the 25 on the climate control i dont seem to get any warm air then at 25 air is warm/hot. This is manual mode with air con off. In AUTO it seems to do its job. Pretty sure it used to be warm at 22 C previously. Coolant level is fine and engine warms up to operating temperature fine so doubt its the thermostat. Could be a temperature sensor somewhere or is this normal behaviour. Car is a gen 2. Edited April 8, 2021 by mc5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 There's a temperature sensor in the cabin that will control the outputted heat from the climate control. If the sensor is faulty then it will do as you describe. The cabin sensor is misreading, which causes the CC to think the cabin temp is 25° and it's trying to maintain that temperature. The temp that you set on the CC is to target/maintain that temp within the cabin - not to set the output temperate of the CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Auty Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Mine is doing the same. Works fine at the start of a journey then starts to cool down so I end up with it at 28C (normally have a car at 19C) I turn it right down to cool then back up to 19C and it warms up again only to cool down again as time goes on. No big deal but would be good to get it fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when set to manual mode if say set to 22 but the cabin is at a warmer temp it will start sending cooler air. Can understand it doing this in auto but not in manual mode. Do you know where the sensor is located is it in the control panel as the manual mentions it has one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Manual mode just means that the climate control isn't automatically controlled and self adjusting (fan speed, blower direction) - the temperate control is always target-based. Not sure where the switch is to comment, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
