climate control

[Guinness]

Well my climate control does warm the car but not very quick, what Im asking is when I had aircon the fans kicked out a load of air, where as the climate control doesnt. Just wondering if this is normal for it not 2?

The climate in cold weather waits for the air to warm up before kicking out loads of it.

you can overide it by using the air speed dial and the direction buttons and the bottom.

hmm think I will have 2 have a play with it.

Hit the button on the bottom left of the CC unit.
High air flow to the screen instantly.

aye that works well, the car doesnt warm up quick from the blowers.

if the fan seems a bit weak you could have a blocked pollen filter but as said the climate system is inteligent and doesn't blow untill the air it is going to blow is warm

lots of people hate being blasted with cold air in the cold mornings

Mine is very good, i was quite impressed with the CC unit. When starting from could it blows slow cold air and then speeds up once it has warm air to push out.

If i stil it on manual full on all, it still quite powerfull.

yep the pollen filter could be in need of a change, had it on mine, although granted i don't have CC... but at least i tried to help

I've found in the MK4 that the heating will never work properly until you've hit 70mph.

 

[Aimez]

mine a bit weak think its cos the car is due a service and a new filter maybe?

my aircon is like that

put on cold but only works really on speed 3 on fan.

Must be a german thing

Exactly what I've started doing. I overide it because it DOES actually produce warm air before the fan speed gets upped, so I can have warmth quicker.

Better than the climate in my Clio: it used to go on full blast, cold air every morning for about 30 secs regardless of the weather/temperature...

Guinness, it could be because the diesel is a heavier block and takes longer to warm up, it is taking longer than you are used to.

As already said, the CC tends to trickle out air until it gets to whatever temp. is deemed warm enough and then it chucks it out at a fair old rate.
I was used to a more erm....manual system in my old car and initially found this strange. Now though I am used to it and generally leave it alone. Only if the window is steaming up or whatever do I adjust the airflow (or if I need to warm my feet on the way home from a night ride @ Thetford!!)
