Hi Bill

Thanks for the reply

The main problem i have is that whatever temperature I set the A.C. to it always blows cold air, the only time i can get it to blow hot is to set it to Hi.

Regards

Mal,

Perhaps this information will be of some help.

From the Owner's Manual:

"Temperature setting - If the display "LO" or "HI" appears, the system is operating at maximum cooling or heating power."

And:

"Compressor for air-conditioning system - Whenever outside temperatures exceed 37F / 3C, the air-conditioning compressor is always switched on in automatic operation. The compressor can be sitched off to save fuel, but control comfort is then limited.

- Press button (Snow Flake symbol). The compresor is switched off, the symbol in the left-hand display goes out.

If the interior temperature is too high, switch the compressor back on, or press "auto"-button.

To dry incoming air in damp weather, do not switch off the air-onditioning compressor. This prevents misting of windows."

If you don't have an Owner's Manual, I would recommend getting one - there are many potential "gotchas" you can avoid by reading up on the car's systems. If you can't find a reasonabily priced Owner's Manual, you can download an MY03 (the earliest found) from RennTech.

Hi

I have recently purchaced a 1998 2.5

The climate has the following problems.

The aircon does not blow very cold, not actually a big problem in the UK at the moment but it would be good if it worked, I assume it just needs a re-gas.

The main issue is that the temperature control is a bit mad.

It only blows hot air if the control os set to 'Hi'

If I press 'auto' I get full fan, aircon compressor kicks in and regardless of the ambient temp. it still tries to chill the air.

I was hopeing it would be something simple like the cabin temp. sensor and not the controller, anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
