Help - Airconditioning/fan Speed Control Faulty ?

[Audiman]

I just purchased a 2003 Zetec TDI on Friday - BLACK FRIDAY for me, I checked everything mechanically except switches,door locks,air conditioning etc!

 

Unfortunately after parting with the cash, i found a whole host of things not working

 

Air Conditioning

This is my main concern - When I press the air con button, it lights up on fan speed 1 and 2 (no fan blowing) - If I increase the speed to 3,4,5 etc the air con light goes out (fan is now blowing)

I don't think the air con is working correctly, should the light go out when I increase the fan speed?

 

Remote Central Locking

Remote control not working at all. The drivers lock is broken. The car only locks via the boot

 

Radio Not working

No power on the radio - fuses checked in the fusebox and back of the radio all okay.

 

Reverse sensors not working.

I've read up on this - I need to hear clicking on the sensor when selecting reverse.

 

Spare wheel was in the car, I wondered why? Then I found out that the wire that holding spare wheel have snapped!!!!!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.....!!!!

 

Please can someone help with least the air con.

im assuming it was a private deal?but even so i do believe you do have some recourse specially if you have not signed a sold as seen receipt,IF its a dealer iirc under the sale of goods act they have to carry out repairs under the 28 day rule?.

Hello,

 

Did you ever find out what the problem was? I have exactly the same issue.

Actually I bought the car from a dealer - I didn't bother to go back, he was in Coventry and I was in Leicester.

Anyway this is what I've fixed myself so far.
