Ok first the disclaimer: I didn't a search of forum and couldn't find one along these lines, but if I have transgressed please give me my penance and merge this with the appropriate thread.

Now that's out of the way..I have a question about the heater/ac in my MkVI GTI.

Ever since I got it (in June) I've had the heater set to auto, 22 degrees and was able to then alter the vents being used between dash, feet, windscreen etc. In doing this the settings would stay on auto.

But about a week ago after turning it off one day I find I can't put the AUTO switch on WITHOUT the a/c coming on.

I have read the manual but can't find anyway to get it back to my preferred settings.

Can anyone help please?
