Hi all,
Say it's 1 degree C outside. I get in my 147 JTD, turn on the climate control, set the temperature to 20 degrees, and switch on "auto". The fans never seem to go above 1 or 2 bars on the display and after 5 minutes, I have no bars displayed (eg fans off but control on), and the right hand auto light has gone out, but obviously the set temperature has not been reached. I always end up not being able to use the auto settings, and have to turn on the fans myself.
I also notice that when I use the HI setting to demist when I first get into the car, the fans only kick in once I've been driving for a while (not too good when you need to de-mist!). Again, I have to use manual control to get the fans going to de-mist the windscreen before driving off but it seems to take ages. I thought the JTDs had a secondary heater for coping with this?
Any advice or ideas on what could be wrong?
Alfa dealer told me they couldn't find anything wrong, but knowing them that's because they didn't have a logged error code to work with, so therefore nothing can possibly be wrong!?!
Thanks
Steve
