I'd go with 2, but I generally just adjust the temperature until I am comfortable regardless of what it says on the temp gauge/HVAC. Good luck.

I've got an 8-week old MY16 Comfortline with the dual-zone climate control.
I find I have to have the temp set to 2 degrees more than the outside temp otherwise it's too cold.
So, today it was 24 deg outside and I had to set it at 26...Is this normal?
It also seems to keep the fan at the speed one above lowest...which is often too strong.
With previous (non VW) car I would have it set around 22 and hardly needed to adjust it....
Any comments welcome

Get your thyroid checked.

Press Setup button, open air conditioning settings and choose light, medium or strong blower output. Yours could be on strong.
I am assuming you are keeping it in Auto position.

You are lucky I reckon compared to a Toyota, VW aircon is crap

Compared to a Mazda, VW aircon is crap. However, it's much better in a Mk6 than the Mk5 (even after I replaced the compressor in my Mk5).

MK6 and MK5 have almost identical HVAC setups.
Compared to a mid-'00s Mazda3, the OP's aircon would be like the Antarctic.

Yeah but there is a noticeable difference. I have both the cars right now so when I switch between them a few times each week I can tell the difference.Originally Posted by Umai Naa!!
As for the Mazda comparison, I was relating to my 2010 CX-7.

But everything's the same? The compressor, the refigerant quantity, pretty much identical.
Maybe its time the MK5's aircon got a look-over?

Well maybe. It had a complete new compressor about 2 years ago. It's fine and works OK; I just think my Mk6 is better. Besides, I've sold it and my new Mk7 arrives on Friday!
