Hi folks, I'd be very grateful for any advice here.
I own a year 2000 S3. I just took it in for an air con charge and to replace a split hose -easy! I got it back and all was fine for about an hour...

Now, when I start the car a bunch of problems:
1. Cruise control no longer works
2. Outside temp is no longer displayed in the DIS
3. The electric pump which keeps running after you stop the engine is non-functional
4. Most importantly, the entire climate control unit is completely dead.

Checked all the fuses. All fine.

Really appreciate any advice anyone has. Thanks in advance!

 

What did the shop who did the re-charge say?

Good luck.

 

Well, I took it back to the place and they said not much more than "we'll take a look at it"! I can't leave it there ATM, cos I really need it for the next couple of days!

It COULD be a bunch of things! Could be a software problem... What's common to those four things? Is there a connector which carries power to all four which might be disconnected?

It also occurs to me that THREE of those four things at least, rely on a tempriature sensor... Relevant??

Thanks everyone!
