I have a Fiat 600e RED 2023.
We are on a road trip through Europe (Paris to Varna) and our air con stopped blowing cold air in the middle of Italy.
everything looks like it was working but just no cold air.
I tried resetting the system to factory settings and tried several times again over the following days at varying states of charge but to no avail.
We tried getting it to a Fiat service centre in Italy but they said they would need 2 days to disassemble the air con unit to find the solution.
The said it could be a leak in the pipes or a compressor failure.
I did ask if they could connect the diagnostic computer to it just to see and they said it would not be a software issue.Impossible.
We decided to push on and sort out the issue when we arrived in Sofia , Bulgaria.
It was Thursday morning when the air con stopped working.
So we drove on with all the windows open , Italy,Slovenia,Croatia and Serbia 9 (39 degrees was the max we hit). Arriving in Sofia ,Bulgaria late on Saturday night.
Got the car into a service centre in Sofia on Monday morning.
First thing they did was connect the diagnostic computer and picked up a software fault and after 20 mins had the air con working again no problem.
They kept it for a few hours just to double check everything and confirmed it was only a software issue, nothing mechanical or anything else.
So just a heads up for anyone else that has a similar issue.
