Has anyone carried out the "Air Mix Doors" test in "Active Test" mode of "Auto A/C"

 

Just a thought...

Graham, is that a Yes or a No

I have done when i had a series 1 air con, what is it you need to know? The diagnostic show what the measurements are, but there is nothing to adjust, so i guess it just tells you if they are within range/spec and if not one or more components need replacing or the climate ecu is at fault.

A ConZult will monitor and test the various elements (motor, doors and sensors) of the system.

Graham, I'm refilling my cooling system and this is one of the requirements they ask for, I thought you just filled it up till it overflowed...

Radiator coolant or AC gas?

Sorry, water....

You dont need all that for coolant lol, fill it up, bleed the system and enjoy. The readings on the climate pod only tell you what temps you are getting into the car via the heater matrix.

Thanks God for that :sweatdrop: I saw it mentioned in one of the manuals..

 

Oh yeah, which method do YOU use to bleed the system ?....

I raise the front of the car slightly either jack it or park uphill slightly as air will automatically find its way to the top, i run the engine without the rad cap on and get it up to temp, so that the thermostat opens and allows more water to flow, likely need a bit more to top up. Once the level has settled, replace cap and use the bleed screw to evacuate the air out of the system, also put your climate pod on full heat so the actuator opens for the heater matrix.

 

Engine should be up to temp when bleeding, check coolant level in the overflow tank as the rad will draw or expel water into/from it, through the small pipe from the rad cap as required by the system, remember its not an expansion tank and is not under pressure.

Ah!.. Just as I thought, same method as me.

ps where's the bleed screw

Seriously man, should you be opening the bonnet :lol::lol::lol:

 

 

Plastic screw in the rad chamber near the top lol

Oh..

 

the air release plug, why didn't you say....

 

(actually in my condition I shouldn't be anywhere near a CAR let alone a radiator...)
