Thread: Td5 D2 aircon

MY 01 D2 TD5 does exactly the same thing.
No aircon = warm/hot air

No fan and whole system off = warm/hot air

Should the air coming through be outside air temp and not warm?

My D2 did this as well,,, what i used to do was turn it on cold, not on econ mode, set it to its lowest temp then turn it off and the hot air would stop, just outside temp air would come through then.... never knew why it was like that, but it always used to bug me.

why dont you have it on?
cheaper than having the windows down.

This is true, and i have tried running the car on Econ mode to see if there was a difference is power and economy, nothing no difference, if i did, i didn't notice it.

I also did the up hill test;

5th gear going up a hill with aircon on, halfway up, turn it off, result, no difference, then did it the other way, aircon off, then turn it on, same result, no difference

I would of bet my left knacker it would of made a difference, lucky i didn't take that bet

I've noticed it too but assumed that the air intake system is being soaked by heat from the firewall.

Yeah there was a thread on here about a year ago about this and from memory, the above is what was suggested. Also try turning the system on and switching it to windscreen vent and then turning it off. I think this disables the foot well vent.

Very annoying though as like you, I just want outside cool air coming through the vents when the system is off and to have the ability to shut the whole flow of air off.

Aye, mick
