Hi Lads,

Cannot find answer after numerous searches. I live in a hot climate, and as a result the air-con sometimes takes a while to work. I set my unit to 20 degrees and only the foot vents work until the car cools down enough, then the top (dash) vents open. Must switch once the difference between the set value and the AMB value is small enough (maybe 8 or 9 degrees).

What really annoys me though, is that I cannot manually turn the top vents open until the cabin cools enough to automatically switch.

Is this normal? Can I override this?

Thanks, regards

The climate control has a feature that isn't documented in the R32 owner's manual.

With the fan on, temperature set at 18 (the lowest it will go), press and hold the temperature

down button for a couple of seconds. The climate control will show "FC", the air conditioning

will come on in re-circulated mode. This must be a fast cool, as it sets the optimum setting for

cooling the car quickly. The re-circulation mode can be turned off.

There is a "FH" mode also with the temperature set at 32 (the highest temperature). Press and

hold the temperature up button to enter the FH (fast heat?) mode.

Lads - thanks for the comments.

I know about the mode button - it switches to manual but still does not change vents.

I know and use the FC mode quite regularly - we must have downloaded the same skyline 'book!'

I ran a diagnostic check a few weeks ago, and it came up with a sunload error (common, ignored) and a water termerature sensor error. I do not think this has anything to do with the vents, though, as the AC is bloody cold when its working.

It just takes a little time to switch vents over, depending on the inside car temp.

Thanks for the comments lads.

He had the car for a few days, Changed from old gas to new, cylender was damaged so he had to degas it, replace and regas it again. new control unit, from memory around 300. the guy I use is really really good. I always take any of my cars to him without a worry

Who is this guy? How much for the gas switch?

Cheers,

Lucien.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
