Hello All,
Just became a member here as we have a 05 T5 California since June this year. Bought it with a non functioning climate control (due to faulty contrl unit/display) but this unit is replaced with OEM new unit and recoded. Aircon worked perfect during our first holiday in august. However I noted it started working intermittent during the last month. Now it only starts to cool after 1-2 hours of driving and switches of when there is no demand for aircon air and it does not start again for hours.
Took it back to aircon specialist to have it checked. Pressures good, new display good so he had it read out at VW dealer. All I got back was "there is some sensor reading minus 30 degrees, can be your ECU that failed to have this done this is going to be excpensive ". As this is sounding to me like goodluck and goodby I have decided to go and have this repaired myself.
Now I have checked the control unit with VCDS and noted all sensors in the Auto HVAC group read about 14-15 degrees except for one that reads minus 2.0 now. I do not know which sensor it is as I do not have the correct label file for this group. I have checked the sensor in the front bumper by heating it and this functions good both on the car display and in VCDS.
There must be more sensor(s) for outside air temp in the California, can someone tell me where they would be ?
PS: checked pumpc clutch and this is good
Thank you and regards,
Dennis
