Title: Air Con Strangeness
Post by Nick_H on Jun 15^th, 2005, 6:53pm

Hi all,

Hope you're enjoying the nice weather (those who have got nice weather that is...)

I would enjoy it too, but my Climate Control has started acting all bizarre.

Left work this evening - warm outside and sunny, so I put CC on to 'LO' to get cool air. What did I get? Hot air! Not just outside-ambient-temperature warm, but full-on hot!

Drove for 10 mins to the shops, when I came out, 45 mins later, the air con was blowing out warm-ish air (kind of outside-ambient-temperature warm, I guess).

Stopped to get petrol, when I left the gas station 5 minutes later, CC is back to blowing lovely cold air again...

??? ???

Anybody got any bright ideas...? Quick, before the sun goes in!

Cheers,

N_H

Ah, I hadn't exactly tried a reset, no...

Just got in from my journey and called for help :)

Have just given it a go - it just displayed '00' all the time, so I'm guessing that means no faults found - will see how it behaves from now on.

Cheers,

Hi Nick,
Check that the two water outlet valves ( About 25 mm O.D. black pipes ) located on the bulkhead are not blocked. I had temperature problems due to condensate being retained. Cleaning the outlets resolved my problem.
