When the Flying Chicken has warmed up sufficiently for the climate control to kick in (usually after about 5 mins of driving) I can hear the noise of a flap or something flipping open behind the dash somewhere - so it's possibly a bit sticky, but there's no way I can see of tracing it. Is there anything you can spray into the system that would clean/lubricate the mechanisms maybe? And where is the interior air intake for drawing the cabin air back into the system? Someone on another thread had suggested spraying some sterilising fluid into the system to disinfect it...

why not run the test, i cant remember how to do it of the top of my head, but mine stuck and the test though secret menu re lined it and its been faultless ever since, i will see if i can dig up the thread

I have run the test - it all works, but you can hear a flap flipping open and closed when the climate control is working - never had that on any other car...

Hi

Whats this test, whats the procedure, as never heard of this...

CLIMATE CONTROL SELF-LEARNING PROCEDURE

The AUTO and MONO buttons must be pressed simultaneously within 40 seconds of the ignition being turned to the ON position in order to active this procedure.

A few seconds later a figure will appear on the display (in place of the driver's side set temperature) which will count down to indicate the time remaining before the start of the procedure. At the same time (i.e. whilst the count down is taking place) the previous self-learning status is signalled on the passenger temperature setting:

'1' flashes if the previous self-learning procedure failed.
'0' indicates that the previous self-learning procedure was successful.

This procedure is not carried out if at least one of the above mentioned buttons is released whilst the figure on the left hand side is not zero (this is designed to check the outcome of the previous self-learning procedure).

Exiting the procedure zeroes the 40 second counting period from when the ignition is switched ON, to allow the procedure to be repeated without having to switch the ignition OFF.

Each time a new control unit is fitted, the flap actuator learning test must be carried out using the diagnostic equipment and the unit must be personalized through programming.
