Aircon System

[chock]

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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