Does anyone know for sure what the cut off temperature is for VAG cars?
|

Not for sure, but for most other cars it's 3 or 4 degrees celcius

5c on the touran

Does this apply if you switch it to re-circ.??

My VW too, doesn't seem to dry the air in this damp weather, and even steams up the windscreen. Reminds me of the olden days. Other cars I had would clear this sort of thing in seconds, but the VW will make it worse just like in the olden days. What rubbish.

My VW Bora will cut off the recirculating feature from around 4 degrees C if you attempt to have maximum windscreen demisting. I presume it's to prevent the screen rapidly misting up.
However the A/C works very well, probably because I keep the windows, especially the windscreen and rear screen as clean as possible to prevent condensation "sticking" to the film that builds up on the glass.

The later ones will still run the compressor if it's below zeroC if in defrost mode.

My Skoda Superb seems to cut off at around 5-6 deg, last year this was a real pain causing it to steam up as the temperature dropped. This year its muuuuccccch better, the climate control developed a fault (flap servo) that needed a dash out strip-down(thanks warranty!!), I wonder it the water drain was partially blocked?
