Hi all - Happy New Year!!
I'd like to uprgrade my climate control unit (the one with 3 x control knobs) to the climatronic version as found in the B7 Passat.
So I bought one and I was told its all "plug & play"... well, its not. I changed the units over and everything works except for the A/C button. No light comes on when I select A/C, but the info on the screen says - "A/C OFF" and "A/C ON", but its not actually activating the A/C at all...
My learned friend Robbie R32 tells me that a small mod is needed to one of the multi-pin connectors that click in to the back of the control panel. Evidently a small wire and one or two resolders are needed to make it all good.
But, he's not sure which pins etc...
Does anyone here have any advice for me?
Nothings easy is it!!
