What is it?
« on: 12 March 2013, 23:00:49 »
Hi all. I've noticed on the dash of my miggy a small something. It is positioned right in the middle almost where the dash meets the windscreen. It looks like a small solar panel.

What is it and should it be there?

So does it need to be regassed then?

I didn't think dual climate control was the same as air conditioning. If so where is the pump?

Climate is posh for air-con, it maintains temp, air-con only cools...... :y

If the sun is coming in to the car on the drivers side, then the sun sensor will make the climate control feed cooler air to the drivers side, and leave the pas side unaffected, as I understand it.

My ss has failed I'm told...
