R36 Air con

[sloutch]

I actually prefer driving with windows or sunroof open - I can hear the glorious V6 noise better when I do LOL... and it saves a fair bit of fuel, although that is a minor consideration. I live in Queensland, the weather is brilliant - I like to enjoy it not always be stuck in artificially cooled air.

If you want to hear the glorious sound, then it's time for you to invest in a nice cat-back

Booked it in on Friday to get it looked at, will let you all know the outcome then. Also asked them to find the annoying squeek at the rear seats somewhere. Drives me crazy every time I drive over rough roads or drains/driveways.

make sure you get them to hook not just to the diagnostics that shows the fan running. get them to direct hook it and ensure it works. That was the problem with mine.

Update all....had it fixed on Friday, Low on gas. I was very impressed with the service facility that Solitate automotive group had. Vey new and well designed. You can even watch the cars being serviced in the waiting room area looking over the workshop. Very neat.

They fixed the squeek to.....just closed the back seat properly!

I'm generally ok without ac unless temperatures start going north of 32.

Also it changes fuel economy.

In my 100 km or so Ive noticed 13.7L /100km with and around 12.4 without.

I don't know what average is but at the moment Im enjoying occasional leadfooting.

Hi,

My 07 passat tdi had an air prob also after 12 months. Was not cooling down. VW service found that a faulty engine fan was the cause. They replaced it.
