Hey guyz,

i noticed that my climate control is behaving in a very "extreme" manner

when turned to 18degrees (the lowest) it becomes damn cold (@ 18 i presume) and when i increase the temp

to 19degrees it becomes damn hot...like it's at it's hottest...

an electrician told me that it could be my aircon server motor's fault and it requires 2hours of labour just to check it out ...anyone have any good recommendations on what to do?

sounds like your mechanic wants to drain your pocket..

In most cases it's your in cabin temperature sensor. Borrow someone's and see if that fixes the problem.

  • 5 weeks later...

I too am having problems with my climate control, it read -30deg for the ambient temp, thinking it was the unit itself that was dodgy I swapped for a spare I had and still reading -30deg. I'm thinking this might explain why I can't get the aircon to work, it just blows really hot air all the time as it thinks it's 30 degrees below zero in the car..

So where is this in-cabin temperature sensor located?

Cheers.

I've had the same problem for ages, it will blow hot hot air at any temp setting. I just use the 'FC' function (hold down the cold button for 3 seconds at 18 degrees) on the aircon to get cold air when I need it..... stuff the climate control, I either want it hot, or cold, there is no inbetween :laugh:

If it starts to only blow hot air in any mode, then I'll have to do something about it.

to the right of the ashtray. a couple of little vent holes on the front of the panel and the sensor is mounted in behind.

Ohhh.. that thing I discovered when I put my stereo in that isn't connected.. I thought it may have been like a mic for an carphone system or something from japan.. pretty sure the wires have been chopped - guess I need to find a wiring diagram and start fishing around behind the dash :thumbsdow

i had the same issues. i just removed the faulty sensor (Left side of dash, under windscreen) and replaced it with a resistor that is the right impedence, to make the climate control think that the intake temp is 30deg.

So when you turn the climate control on it just cranks the aircon?

Are replacement sensors hard/expensive to get?

Got any specs on the various sensors? says all of mine are shagged :P

Sory for all the questions.. my mrs wants the aircon working :P

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
