Heater/Climate Control temp

Howdy all,

My heater/climate control unit does not seem to function properly. I only get cold air at 18'c or hot air at any tempertaure above 18'c.

I tried the settings with the a/c on and it made little difference (i.e. the air-con worked but still only left me with hot or cold - so settings in between).

I also tried running the diags and everything appeared normal for most of the settings. When I put it to the sensor check, where the number "5" appears, I pressed the window de-fog button (bottom right next to the recirc button), and i got a reading of between 18'c and 21'c for the first setting (which I assume is the inside air temp - seemed about right), and I got -30'c for the second (no idea what this reads).

Anyone got any ideas? It kinda sux only having a hot or a cold setting, because the climate control does not function properly....

There's a climate control temp sensor.... It should have an electrical plug and a suction hose connected to it... make sure bith of these are connected.....

Tool the calibration in the climate controll is out or the external temp sensor is faulty. the climate control thinks the out side temp is -30 so it wants 2 blow hot air to warm the car up. try resetting the climate control (same way as rebooting the ecu) i think that should work. if not then need a new external temp sensor.

hope this helps

I've got the same problem..... where would I find the external temp. sensor??? :confused:

I'm guessing it's somewhere at the front of the car since thats where all the damage from 'the accident' happended, and before that it was all working :D

You'll find the external temp-sensor just under the horn.

At the very front of the car (in the middle).

It's black and is about 3-4 cm's long...

Hope that helps. (I had to re-locate mine as I installed an FMIC).

Cheers

The external temp sensor on my r32 was on the frontbar just behind the number plate.

it's a black little like box, with a metal bracket on it, and a bit of wire.

mayb unplug it, clean it out, u may need to replace. Not sure how it works,

i think the sensor is an active sensor, so it might work from a voltage return.

or it might work by resistive.

I know when i diconected mine to see what would hapen it showed -30'C.

So check the wiring on the plug, move it about....

u may need a new sensor, or your wires shaged or mayb where ever it goes into is disconected or shaged.

Good luck.

Madtrang,

I had a look and was able to find the sensor.

I am little curious as to how you disconnect it. Mind you I was using a blue led light in a car park (really hard to see but better then nothing), as I couldnt find a torch.

It had a cable coming out one side with tubing around it, and the otherside had the bracket connected to it.

So if you could give me any help with disconnecting/reconnecting it that would be fantastic!

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      By drifter17a · Posted

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine
