Outside Temp

[markmeus]

In my experience it definetly does have an effect on the climate control

As a few people have said, if the ext temp sensor is reading high temperatures in cold weather then the hot air will not be as hot as it should be. This was certinly the case when mine was broken, I had to have it on 28 or HI to get hot air.

I'm sure I read somewhere on the forum that this was the case when mine was broke as I searched for it. Can't find it now though

This is the problem im having now
Yeh i had mine at high aswell earlier

Still didnt seem to be getting any warmer

Untill you get a new sensor, just hold in the auto button for 5 or so seconds, and then it'll be in manual mode, and a bit warmer for you.

About the vinyl

[thejollywodger]

mine is ridiculous says its 45 degrees when about 3 lol.

could someone post the link to the discounted sensor on hear as i can't find it

 

[markmeus]

There is no discounted sensor, it's about £25 from a dealer IIRC. I reccomend seremotors on the forum however, as David is a top bloke and about the cheapest around.

 

[thejollywodger]

oh right i thought i read there was a discounted one available on here, must have misread it

 

[markmeus]

No worries, I'll pm David and see if he has any and what price they are.

Unfortunetly the heating does use the external temp sensor.

When mine was broke, it was reading too high, so the climate control was assuming it was warm outside and blowing in cold air, even though it was absolutly freezing.

There's also an internal temp sensor as well and the system uses both.

Razor, replacing your temp sensor will make your car blow hot air. But another thing you could do is hold in the Auto button for a few seconds to switch it to manual mode. Then you have the option of selecting H1,2,3 or L1,2,3 - H being high, L being low.

This switched the climate control off basically, allowing you to select a heat and have the system constantly stick to it. A good temporary solution to your problem!

I got exactly same problem last night, only heats on hi setting now otherwise a/c kicks in and freezes my feet and hands, anyone know where to get a new sensor?

If you READ the ABOVE posts bud they may HELP

The sensor is £18 inc vat from seremotors, which is a bargain as I paid £25 for mine in Newry
