The ECO button simply turns off the aircon compressor to save a little bit of fuel when you dont require cooling, this means that the climate control only has heating available to it which is fine in winter although ou do lose some of the finer control over temperature as the system would normally blend a bit of hot air from the heater with a bit of cooled air to achieve the correct temperature.

If you have 22 set and the air flow goes cold when you turn off ECO then the cabin temperature must have been above 22 to start with, this is quite likely with only a little bit of sunshine on the car.
Climate also tries to compensate for 'solar gain' so if you are sat in a pleasant 20C but the sun is shining, then you feel warmer, the climate detects the suns heating with the little bump on the dash and sends slightly cooler air out of the high level vents to compensate.

I got mine done for £30 in Poole as there were 3 of us in the office needing it done, he came to us as well.

One thing I don't get about the system in my car, you have climate control which say could be set to 22º. If you then take eco mode off (Put aircon on) it will get colder so does the 22º setting then not mean anything? Hope you all know what I'm talking about....

£55 is the cheapest I can find around here & I know the guy

I have noticed this a lot, especially last year when it was really hot.....

i have mine set to 22c, when it was sunny it was blowing cold air, in the winter it heats the car to the temp, an excellent idea

if you take too long parking in a multi story and the air con is on , you will hear the flaps move after a while and the heat start to pump out the floor vents.
