Climate Flashing - Anyone Nearby With Vag-com

[Steven.Langdale]

Hello all

 

the title said it all. My cliimate control flashes on startup, but works perfectly. Local Ford garage had a look, said it was all working fine, but after talking to Ford tech support said to stop the flashing I'd need a new CC unit. They want

My display used to flash on startup. It hasn't done it now for around 12 months. As long as it is working ok I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I had this problem and had it regassed. After gassing it still flashed.

I pulled the fuse and re-inserted it seemed to reset it and stopped flashing.

Nothing to lose and worth a try.

I am in the Hunstanton/Fennystanton area on a Mon Tues & Wed evening/night, but have no lap-top at the moment.

Thanks for the kind offers! One thought struck me though, will VAG-COM work on my motor? it's a pre-facelift with a 2.3 engine. Does it have enough VW bits in it for VAG-COM to work?

 

I've found my radio code (just incase) so will have a go at removing the fuse to reset it. I'll see if that cures it......

 

dipsomaniac, I'm not worried about it. I'm just nosey :lol:

 

Thanks

It will do everything EXCEPT the engine.

Thanks for that, I'll be in touch after a go with the fuse...

I have found that disconnecting the battery for 30 secs, resets intermittant fault alarms, without the need for VAG.com

No worries mate.

Hi,

The cc panel on mine was doing the same.

After about 15secs it would stop flashing.

I had my air con regassed and after it was filled the panel stopped flashing at start up.

After about a week it started flashing again.

I was told that there must be a leak.

 

So will leave it in to get checked out.

The mechanic who is a friend of mine who works for an Iveco garage said that the panel was flashing because it needed regassing.

Maybe you to have a leak.

Hi,

 

I have a similar problem with my CC , flashes on startup. The fault on mine is the CC unit itself (internal memory error) which I diagnosed using VAG.com.

 

As there is no noticable effect on the system and due to the cost of a new unit I am putting up with it until I find a good s/hand one.

 

As the dealer regassed the system I would doubt that it is down to low pressure.

An update

 

Disconnected the battery for a mniute, and no difference. As sad_git said, it's not low gas as the dealer re-gassed it (not that it needed it).

 

I'm off on holiday to France in a couple of weeks, so will be on touch with one of you guys who kindly offered to plug in their vag-com and take a look at it when I get back. I'll pick up some beers on the way past Calais :blink:

 

Thanks all
