Climate Control BREXIT

Post by R5XVB » Tue Apr 05, 2016 8:12 am

So my Climate Control display has decided to leave the EU... :audibash:

Popped into the Shop, on starting the car up again the display(s) had decided they wanted to show the temperature setting in Fahrenheit rather than Centigrade. I've read that you can toggle this setting by pressing Auto and Econ together, shall try that later. Question is, as this was uncommanded is there anything I should be concerned about or is this the typical RS6 ghost in the machine?

Never heard of anything like that happening. You didn't leave any small children or animals in the car who like to press buttons?

Mine did it once. Next time I drove the car it changed back, and hasn't done it since.

Happened to me too after a service. Probably something to do with disconnecting the battery or some such.

I cannot remember how to switch it back, but there must be a post about it on here. Or google.

Yeah, you press Econ and Auto together apparently to toggle metric / imperial. When it fixed itself I thought, fcuckit if I try it now it will only frighten the "gremlin das RS" and chase him elsewhere. :audibash:
