Does Your Car Act Strange On Hot Days?

Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone can assist in my query. 2 weeks ago I left my car outside a friends place because I had to catch a Taxi home due to my intoxicated state.

Anyway midday the next day I went and collected my car. it was a stinker of a day and the car was getting a beating from the sun all day.

I started the car, plugged in the iPhone and opened the factory screen, the sexy lass living in my dash politely told me something and the screen went black. I started again by closing the screen and opened it again, and she repeated her phrase and the screen remained off. I repeated this on my drive home and kept watching the outside temperature reading drop.

When the temp dropped to 36 degrees The Dash lady said something different and my screen came to life.

Does anyone know if theres some sort of temperature cut out or something that would have caused this.

Not a big deal but thought it was very strange! These cars are full of mystery arent they!

cheers

Exact same thing happened to mine once. Got a bit worried but everything was normal after that. It was extremely hot that day. Shouldn't be too worried about it.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this happened to me today. It got up around 35 degrees, car was left outside work, no shade whatsoever. Couldn't really understand what the chick living in my screen was saying :action-smiley-069:

I started the car, windows down, aircon on full for around 5 mins then shut it off, turned it back on and voila! it works! Still curious as to what the issue is. Anyone know what she's saying?

Hi Tarun,

My car was at Perth Festival Of Speed yesterday from 8:30am - 4:00pm as part of my car club stand. It was in a middle of large clear-out area with no trees, no shades, etc. and it was 46 degrees at noon. Luckily, nothing happened like you mentioned above. But it had happened occasionally with a few owners already, so there must be something that bothers the way the car system runs when it is parked in a really hot area.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
