Outside temp vs Climate control
« on: 10 January 2009, 21:39:53 »
This is a strange one, but yesterday I noticed that the car was really rough when ticking over. When I investigated, I realised that the aircon wasn't running even though it thought it was. Tried resetting but still got the same.

When I switch between ECO mode and the aircon normally there's a drop in revs when the motor kicks in, but it's not doing it any more.

Any ideas chaps?

Mine seems to is that not normal ? I noticed this the other day when it was -2 outside and snowing but the snow was melting. This was causing the air to be quite humid (I guess) and in ECO mode my windscreen kept slowly misting up. Switching it out of ECO instantly cleared the fogging (as I would expect with t he compressor drying the air). Turning it back to ECO and it starting slowly misting up again.

Doesnt normally mist up and hasnt happened since as we've had reasonably low humidity since then.
