Can you replace the individual buttons on the panel and is there a way of checking if the sampling fan has stopped working? Thanks.
-
Guessing you mean FaceLift if its your 2.6, if so, do you mean Buttons or switches?, if latter the switches are PCB mounted on the Panel.
As for the Fan, work out with +- feeds the Fan motor, isolate it, and stuff 12v on it to see if its working.
-
I mean the buttons to control air direction, auto,on,off etc.I need to replace some as the soft coating is coming off.
-
Yes you can replace them, cant remember if there batched on a membrane or individual or not, obviously need to rip the Panel apart to get to them. ;)
-
Yes you can replace them, ...
Pretty sure they're only available new with a complete panel :-\

Can be swapped from AN Other panel... different buttons wear with different owners ;)

but not available on their own ::)

Small vent on front of CC panel. Place a tissue paper/fag paper over it to see if fan is working. paper should stick to panel as fan sucks in air from cabin
-
Once I have tested my panel, if I need a replacement all the ones I've seen have worn buttons, my panel has good buttons.
Rob G, I tried this and the paper didn't want to stick.

Thanks for the link, that will be very useful.

I didn't think the facelift panels had a sampling fan, but I might be wrong.
-
They do ;)
-
Sorry OP, my mistake. The facelifts have a thermistor which varies the temp.
-
If these panels don't have a fan, how can the thermistor check the cabin temperature if not drawing air in?
Thanks.
-
Electronically controlled. Varies the temp depending on resistance

Not very well - in my experience in my 2003 facelift.
Especially on longer journeys (& with the radio switched on) it is noticeable that the cabin temperature drops as the radio gets warmer and heats up the climate panel above it. :(
-
So how can you test if the thermistor is working correctly?
I'm sure there is a fault with my panel as I currently have it set for 24c and I'm sure the internal temp is nowhere near that.
-

Plug it into diagnostics and observe the temperature compared to a thermometor.
-
So, presumably, that would require Tech2?
-
While there could be a fault with the climate control panel it is far more likely that your thermostat needs changing or the heater matrix needs flushing or the outside temperature sensor is duff.
For diagnostics I think you need Tech2.
-
Plenty of heat if I set temp to HI, temp gauge reads at the mid point and outside temp on display was today showing 2c.
This all seems to be about normal.
-
Looks as though you have already ruled out the things I would have checked.
Time to give MarksDTM (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5) a call?
