Hi Guys,
Searching around for info (have searched on here too) and wondered if anyone has any coments on 3 specific faults on an Ibiza Chill/S which I'm preparing for my sister. Took it on a run yesterday and this is what I found:
1) AC works but only moderately cold, by works it's gassed up okay/compressor engages etc, but never really chills down like it should. I have yet to re-check the gas amount & check the basic settings of the heater flap but as it doesn't get warm when you turn AC off I don't think it's the flap.
2) Air temp stays the same from 16-26, only going hot on 'hi'. I suspect the interior temp sensor, I will look at it later (any guides appreciated). The exterior temp sensor appears to report correctly.
3) Every time I restart the car, all the settings on the climatronic are lost and the fan comes on full blast, ac comes on etc. Very annoying - I haven't noticed this in any other VAG car - the settings are always saved unless you alter them. Is this normal?
Any comments appreciated, Greg.
