Climate control
 

My heating works but it is either hot or cold.

I.e. On max it is hot but anything below comes out cool.

This is on manual operation

Do I need to move it to another setting ?

Don't really get the auto...

Auto always seems to want to blast out...

Not sure tbh, I usually set the temp to about 19'C, then set both functions to auto and leave it to do it's own thing, what does confuse the system is having a window open.

You can make the system do a self test by keeping the auto button pressed and turning the key to position 2, then keeping the auto button pressed let it run through it's self test, you'll hear the servos running, and various clicks, when its finished it will show any fault codes, it could be you have a sensor down perhaps.

Have you got your original owner's handbook? The section on it is pretty good for telling you what it's supposed to do. It was a handy reference when I installed ATC in mine.

When you first start the car on a cool day and have the atc in auto mode at say 20C it should sit at a low speed until the engine has warmed up. It'll then ramp up the fan speed and temperate and blow hot for a few minutes until the car is at 20C. After this, it should settle down and look after it's self assuming all sensors are working properly.

It took me a while top get used to it in my mk2 180 after having a mk1.

Rather than have it max in manual mode, turn the fan down but regulate the hot and cold by changing the temperature.

In the winter, mine is set at 22C. Recently has been down to 20C and fan speed normally is either at 1 or 2.

Thanks for the tips...

I have the manual just being lazy...

Hi

Tried this and it did do various things and just continues to run.

Should it show codes and switch off ?

It will only show codes if there are any faults, if no codes show it means the system is working properly.

Set the temperature at say 20', press auto and leave it alone, it should work out the rest.

Ok...
