A/C auto

[Redda Joppe]

Is it possible to disable A/C by default?

It’s a lot of noise when I have temp on auto as well. Turns me crazy

Does it not remember your last setting?

Mine does, but every time you alter the temperature it switches the ac back on :bash:

Is your AC (under the bonnet) noisy or is it the fan noise when auto is set? In Auto the fan starts high then drops as the set temperature is neared.

I just have the fan set to level 3. I used to use Auto but I didn't see any real benefit ... if I need any boost in airflow I just use the front demist button.

That seems to be a Trophy bug in one of the newer software updates.

It’s normal to leave the AC on anyway, it keeps the seals lubricated and dehumidifies as well as cooking. Unless it’s 30 outside and you’re wanting 20 in the cabin it takes hardly any power too.

Agree (except about the cooking bit).

The point is it shouldn't switch it back on. I don't want it on most of the time, it vibrates and opens the grill unnecessarily.

My aircon was extremely noisy, turned out to be slightly low on refrigerant.

on the subject of aircon: is the aircon temperature at the vents as cold on Recirculation as it is using outside air?

In my experience (I'm from the Deep Southern part of the US), it should be colder since the air being run through the compressor is already cooler than the outside air.

It's been very cold here since I bought the car. It was difficult to tell any difference between the Aircon on and the Aircon off. Good reason: Discovered that the compressor itself was leaking so there's a new one on order.
