what is this A/C thing

[HullHornet#30]

Sorry to sound stupid never really been a car person (bikes all the way) and have been a bit skint so only now finally got a decent car that works and has all the toys, so pardon the ignorance but what is a/c i assume i have it as i have a 03 ghia 1.9 tdi(115) and climate control? i have a panel but its in f rather then c so is there a way to change this? i don't have a handbook at the moment so don't know how anything works.

ok thankyou found the temp change does it also change the external temp readout? still in the dark about what a/c is though, and sorry to be a pain but what does the econ button do?

[NikpV]

sorry - A/C - air conditioning - Climate control (which you do have) means you set the temp and the air con runs to keep the temperature at that (either heating or cooling) its a glorified heater/cooler with humidity control

[HullHornet#30]

Ahh so i set the temp and the air con works to get it too that temp. sounds so simple yet from what i've already read seems to cause so many problems and headaches, oh well i suppose this is what i get for wanting a nice new car and lots of toys. :lol:

..and "Econ" turns the aircon off, although the system will still try to maintain the temperature by regulating the amount of heat coming into the car. Best to always leave the system on "auto" so that the aircon system seals stay lubricated.

Thankyou seems like a handy hint to know thankyou. well chuffed with myself cause i worked out how to swivel the front seats as well :) passenger POP the drivers though what a pain in the arse.
