Mr Dillinga Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hey Guys, First post here so hello! Got my '07 GTi 2 weekends ago and have a question about the climatronic... Today for instance, I'm driving back and its 19.5 outside so I turn the blower on one notch (which should be manual). I had the temp set to LO but the fan then decided to go all the way eventually to full blast. I had to turn it back to one bar and then it stayed.. I'm pretty sure it didn't do this the other morning although I think I may have been in auto mode at the time.. Is this normal behaviour? Something to do with the outside temp and the LO setting? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Lo = less than 16 so your climate is trying to cool the car to less than 16. What you do is set the temp to what you want then the manuel bit is selecting the power. If i remember rightly, it has been a while though. Congrats on the car and welcome.

Mr Dillinga Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hey, thanks billy. That kinda makes sense. So its slamming the fan up to try and cool the car as quick as possible to 16? I really miss my polos 4-speed fan now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Sorry not very clear. The temp is the temp regardless of the power. But auto will keep it at that temp i.e. changing the force of air. Manuel will continue to blow out 16 if thats what you have selected which in theory means it might be 14 in the car but still blasting out 16. I think blowing out cold air on full blast is normal when first selecting manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_is_Back Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think you'll find the heating system has a mind of its' own. Even if not set to 'Auto' when you turn the temp down to LOW the fan will go crazy. I prefer to control the heating myself (mainly because auto mode is pants) but the fan speed still changes itself sometimes. Also when I set the temp to around 22 degrees the 'Auto' light switches on. Wierd and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Dillinga Posted July 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Thanks for the replies gents. Sorry for the delayed one on my part! Looks like I'll just have to put up with it having a mind of its own.. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
