Makes sense to me...
But then i only just realised that holding down the next track button on the steering wheel moves you to the next folder of MP3's....
I dont know.... vag com this, vag com that.... if you find out though share the knowledge
not possible

AUTO maintains the temperature and the blower speed will drop once the temp's reached. ECON switches off the air con compressor which reduces the load on the engine hence the improved economy. (but the lowest air temp you'll get is what's outside the car... no chilled air) Compressors are nearly all variable displacement now and the load is negligible unless serious cooling is required. Gone are the days when you could hear the relay click and the revs drop when the A/C button was pressed
Btw. When you unlock a Pheaton on a hot day the blowers reverse and draw all the hot air out of the system so you get cold air much quicker. It's alright for some...
CV7 has it right...
Blank = manual fan control, a/c will come on as required but fan speed will not alter. Enable this mode by setting the fan speed manually from the "Auto" setting (without "Econ" displayed)
Econ + Auto = no a/c, fan speed is controlled automatically
Econ = no a/c, fan is in manual mode
Auto = as per CV7's post
The system also cycles the a/c compressor at a low (~10%) output to prevent problems with the seals, etc. i.e. you don't have to switch it on for half an hour every fortnight like you used to with older a/c systems.

You know more than me Dave!!! need to try that with the holding of the button....cheers....
my steering wheel has a seperate button for changinf folders.
anyway,
when i had my audi, econ on and it was cool, econ off and it was time to put a extra coat on as that **** was cold.
but yeah my leons aircon isnt quite as good, but i do the rolling with the windows down trick to get the cabin a bit lower.
and the ultimate cool would be a phaeton on airride, and bentley mulliners but thats off topic

get a regas an tell them to put more gas in than what it says it will get cold easily fast an will have more control.
I have a good tip for saving money on Air Con....
When the missus gets in the car on a hot day, simply ask her if she has put on a bit of weight recently....
Firstly the harsh intake of breath will remove all the nasty hot air, and secondly the ride home will be plenty frosty enough without ANY kind of cooling....
Thats my top tip anyway!

The golden rule is that you never argue with a woman when you're in a car - Reason being that you have nowhere to go & nowhere to hide when she starts her ranting!
been loads of air con probs caused by faulty pressure switches in all VAG group cars over the last few months, many dealers have zero stock of the switch and I think they are on back order till the midle of the month, how do I know coz mine broke, the stealer coudn't diagnose so I used my 20 years of mechanical knowledge to diagnose the fault, check logged ecu faults etc check to see how much gas in air con system (non at all ) something a main dealer should be able to do and hey presto faulty air con pressure switch.Phone the dealers, tell them what to order, ok will get one....oh hang on its gone back order.Warranty whats that?

Unfortunately not. It was part of the Silent Pack and because I didnt spec the sunroof, I couldnt get it. I deeply regret it now!
