Not sure if this is possible. On many cars I have been in with dual climate control you are able to operate independently or "link" both sides so when the driver changs the temp the passenger temps follows....Is this possible on the a6 or am I missing something?

Also does anyone turn off the climate control all together? Does this harm the car to run with it off. I read in the manual something to the effect that you should never have to turn the the air off....If I am driving around with the windows open I really don't need the sytem on at all. thanks....

 

Does anyone have an answer to this question? I just purchased an 04 A6 and cant figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

ECON will turn off the a/c.

 

Is there a quick way to place the temperature that is set on the drivers side, to the temperature on the passenger side, or vise-versa???

 

I don't understand.

 

I don't think you can link them...I remember a post about it a long while back andnobody could find a way to do it. As for turning it off, I do it all the time with the windows open, it won't harm anything...Audi just wants you to be comfortableThey also say to leave the temp set at 75 degress all year long.

 

my 2002 A6 3.0 climate controll has always worked together, I was wondering if they could be seperated

 

hey! I know this one!

If you press and hold the auto button on the drivers side, the passenger side will sync up, and they will move together until the passenger side is changed.

It takes maybe 3 seconds....not sure exactly, but if you have them on different temps, you'll be able to tell when the passenger side temp changes.

 

not my area but here is some information there was a change in 2002 cars


Modifications to the air conditioner[/align]Modifications introduced as of 06.1998[/align]In the period from week 36 to week 44 of 1998, production was gradually switched from air-conditioner design "1" to air-conditioner design "2". These designs have specific features that differ
Notes:

â—†Vehicles with the 8 cyl. engine are fitted exclusively with air conditioners from version "2" onwards.
â—†If air-conditioner components or the operating and display unit are renewed, the instructions in the associated Parts List must also be followed. [/ul]
=> Parts List
The presence of the following vehicle components in the vehicle depends on which type of air-conditioner is fitted.

â—†Operating and display unit -E87. [/ul]

‒Vehicles with air-conditioner design "1" may only be fitted with operating and display units with part no. up to and including index "G". [/ul]

‒Only operating and display units with part no. from index "H" onwards must be installed in version "2" air conditioners. [/ul]

â—†Intermediate piece for defrost duct [/ul]

‒An intermediate piece with two openings to the air-conditioner is installed on type "1" air-conditioners.
‒An intermediate piece with one opening to the air conditioner is installed in air conditioners from version "2" onwards. [/ul]

â—†Defrost flap positioning motor -V107 [/ul]

‒The lever arm on positioning motor -V107 is different for air conditioner version "1" and air conditioner versions from "2" onwards. [/ul]

â—†Fresh air blower -V2

‒The fan wheel of the fresh air blower installed in the air conditioner from version "2" onwards is approx. 10 mm shorter than that in version "1". [/ul][/ul]
Air conditioner types "1" and "2" have different designs for the following components

â—†Air distributor housing [/ul]

‒Housing

‒Air is ducted to the intermediate piece for the defrost duct by means of two openings on version "1", from version "2" onwards these are combined into one opening. [/ul]
‒Air distribution flaps in the air distributor housing
‒Position of the three air distribution flaps with respect to the dash panel vents.

‒From version "2" onwards, both outer flaps remain open slightly at the top when the centre flap is closed (angle between the flaps is approx. 40 degrees), so that there is always air flowing to the left and right dash panel vents.
‒On design "1", all three flaps close completely. [/ul][/ul]

‒Evaporator

‒From version "2" onwards, the evaporator is 32 mm narrower than on version "1" (58 instead of 90 mm).
‒From version "2" onwards, the evaporator can no longer be removed from the air distributor housing (the housing would have to be dismantled due to the modified attachment of the refrigerant pipes). [/ul]
‒Refrigerant pipes are adapted to the evaporator. [/ul]

â—†Air duct with intake housing [/ul]

‒The air duct has been adapted to the modified fresh-air blower.

‒The fan wheel of the fresh air blower installed in the air conditioner from version "2" onwards is approx. 10 mm shorter than that in version "1".
‒From version "2" onwards the air duct is narrower in the area downstream of the fresh air blower, than it is in version "1". [/ul][/ul]

 

you are right on with that one the auto button worked.....
