When I got the car, before the RAC touched it...
When I set the temp on the drivers side it would adjust the passenger side too, now it doesn't there both independant of eash other.
Any idea's ?
-
Same here, Does it sometimes tho
HELP?
-
Dunno bout pre-facelifts but my facelift is always independant from the passenger, is that not how its supposed to be???
-
when I first got the car if you changed the drivers side the passengers side changed as well unless the passnerger changed theres then it went individual, untill the ign was turned off and back on.
Maybe its a diffrent set up on the newer ones,
-
yeah it sounds that way cos my drivers knob has neva changed both, would make sense though cos its a pain in the ass changing both all the time when on my tod
-
If you push in either of the knobs on the facelift climate control the single knob takes over control of both sides. Push it again and they separate. When a single knob is active the temperature display above the other one is blanked.
Not sure about prefacelift but I would imagine there's some similar mechanism.

On the pre face lift cars the passenger's side follows the driver's side untill you press the passenger's side & then they're seperate. They become as one again after the ignition has been off for ...... er? an hour? .... can't remember. :-?
-
Thats what I thought, but I can leave it stood for a couple of days... oh well no biggy
-
when turning the passenger side on using the driver side knob, the passenger side should come on at the same temp as the drivers and be completely independantly adjustable via its own knob, ie when both are on and you change the driver temp, the passenger will remain at whatever temp it was left on. if you turn the driver temp up, then switch the passenger side off and back on via the driver side knob, it'll come back on the same temp as the driver side
pretty certain this is the norm, its been like this in my current facelift elite and my previous facelift GLS

Correct. 40mins is the timeout with ign off iirc.

Botched wiring (ie, its always got ign on signal)? Stuck buttons?

Botched... maybe after the other trouble...
No buttons stuck, and it turns off after about 8 seconds after the igntion is turned off

or £30 from ebay ;)

Yup but as its 6 weeks old, I think VX is getting my wraith tomorrow...
-
At long last Ive think Ive found the issue...
If I adjust the the passenger side first, it changes them both, so it's been set for a LHD...
I called the stealership and the recon it took so long to get because it came from germany, hence been LHD, they will get me a UK one ASAP but there is none showing in stock any where...
Now I called bullshit on this and said, your Tech2 should be able to change this.
They say there "tech2" wont fit a omega
I made some coment about the OBD socket been a standered fit but they insist on replacing the panel...
So 'dangle berries' to them, I'll live with it because like hell I'll let them in the dash again

They cant order a UK one, there is no such thing.
They are supplied in un-programmed state from the factory and they need to set the variant info using tech 2 and thier tech2 will fit (if it wont then they dont have one!).
Only takes 5 mins to do, dead easy!
-
OH MY GOD. "tech 2 does not fit!"
I'd rather let the local hoodies work on my car. How can a dealer not have tech 2? Inept incompetent spakers.

Isn't there another dealer you can go to?
Do you ever venture near Ellesmere Port? If you do I can give you the name of one of their service dept staff. He DOES know about Omegas (& Vx's in general) He'd be able to sort it out - he has his TechII too.

That would concern me as obviously they dont know what they are doing......and also i believe a replacement climate panel has to be calibrated to the outside temp sensor.....with a tech2..
