Is there any way that you can turn the fan off on an R32 climate control unit after you have turned it on without switching the whole unit off using the off button. Also how do you enter the auto mode which controls all the heating and cooling of the car automaticly. I see the auto writing come up once i start the air con but how do u actually get it in to the auto mode and get it working.

FH is Fast Heat & FC is Fast Cold

But F***ing Cold and F***ing Hot discribe the functions better!

Yes it all is a bit confusing. I sat down one day and had a good play just so I could work it all out once and for all. I think I have most of it sussed.

First of all, Air Con cold air actually works better and quicker as a demister than warm air does.

When you first hit the A/C or ECON button this puts it into auto option and the car does whatever it needs to do to get it to the preset temp. If you press the same button a second time it will try and do the same, but without the aircon unit working (basically uses the air from outside to cool down.) You should notice the AUTO display disappear in this mode. Basically, this would be known as the "Fresh" mode on any other car, and is the mode I use the most.

The difference between A/C and ECON? The only difference I can see is that I think the ECON mode has a different temp setting on the thermostat for the aircon unit so it turns off at a higher temperature. This is the case with most other cars with this set-up. It basically takes a little longer to get to the desired temp. It may also kick off when the car has the power put down when in ECON, but I think this actually happens in both modes.

The MANUAL mode gives you the option of controlling the fan speed and vent selection, whilst the car still has the job of getting to the desired temp, again, with or without the aircon unit on.

As far as I know there is no Fresh air option without the fan. I figure they thought that was what electic windows were for.

Now. Go play! :P

i turned my A/C on n had the hot air coming through the front window vents n down on my feet, then turned the A/C off, so now whenever i drive,the hot engine bay air is blown throught the window vents n down on my feet without having the A/C on, if it gets 2 hot i use the electric windows, i find this is most effective 4 my needs:)

mainly coz i stress about fuel consumption n heat around my pod.

That is such a cool thing !!!! ( no pun intended ). Went for a belt on the weekend with both windows down and this little trick activated and my feet were nice and warm while the cold air is in my face. :cheers:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
