Heating

BanziBarn · 12-27-2009, 07:51 AM

Is there a way of locking the two temp gauges together so you only have to turn one knob affect both sides of the car?

I used to have this function in my Leon and used it all the time.

Thanks!

SiKkBaSs · 12-27-2009, 07:56 AM

Not sure but I agree...both sides MUST be identical

The very latest incarnations of the climate control have replaced the REST function on the right hand dial with an ALL function that ties the two temperatures together. But I think that this is only from September 2009 build.

I see, mine is April so no luck for me!

Never mind, not the end of the world.

Thanks.

You could always fork out £300 and get the latest control panel.

BanziBarn · 12-27-2009, 11:08 AM

Er, let me think about that for a second......... Nur.

Yep! No half degrees (need to change to the F scale) and no odd numbers either!

Yep! And have to have both sides on the same temp, unless the misses is in the car!!!

COLSEN · 12-28-2009, 06:36 AM

hmmm, I thought I had OCD

If I'm in the car on my own I tend to set them both to either 19,22,or 23, sorry I use odds, and if the wifeys in the car I'm not too bothered about what the passenger one is set too!!

ElegantSpoon · 12-28-2009, 06:38 AM

19!

I have mine at 23,24,25! Gotta be nice and toasty

BanziBarn · 12-28-2009, 08:35 AM

Ha Ha, Brilliant

I don't like odd numbers either but know it's stupid so try and fight it!

Could you tell me what the rest button does I know I should

marcm · 12-28-2009, 09:00 AM

20 deg all the way unless I've been de-icing the screen then 24 deg to give me chill blames....

The rest button is so you can use the residual heat if your parked up and want to keep warm without running the engine.

Chris335d · 12-28-2009, 09:16 AM

Ah Thanks

Great for when you and your miswah are alone...
