Climate control

[sanncenvr]

Hello everyone, I have a seat Ibiza 1.0 115hp style plus3 2019 with a simple climate control. Can I change it with the double zone climate control like the image?

I'm guessing that your car came with a form of manual AC, the system that uses that automatic AC needs a lot of other bits to make it work, very expensive to retrofit.

If I was wrong and your car came with single zone auto AC, again it would need a lot of changes to become two zone, and so expensive.

It's possible, but it would require crazy amounts of work. You'd have to pull the dash out and fit the electronically controlled blend doors, and the system of sensors around the cabin for auto climate to work. You'd be better off changing cars for one with climate control.

^This.

It‘s really not worth the the effort or the expense.

I’ve owned VAG cars with auto climate control and manual air con and I found the manual air con is just as good at cooling and dehumidifying the car’s cabin as auto climate control. IMO only real benefit of climate control over manual air con is the control panel looks better aesthetically.

The other "bonus" with Climatronic etc auto systems is that you can force them into a diagnostic mode and they will hand over fault codes, I think that was my initial reason for specifying Climatronic over manual - then I bought VAG-COM >VCDS and so didn't need any self diagnostic function.

I just rather it over manual, I've only ever used a car with manual AC when I was looking after my older daughter's late 2009 Ibiza.

Edit:- 2 or 3 zone is handy if/when you have very demanding passengers!
