In October 2003 I was able to receive my new A3 (2.0 FSI). My great enthusiasm for the vehicle, however, was relativized, since the automatic air conditioning has an unpleasant or unpleasant speciality. At outside temperatures in the range of below 12°C, about 5 minutes after the start of the journey, very warm (approx. 35°C) air is brought into the interior during a good 30 minutes, resulting in an unpleasant overheating. I have set the lowest possible temperature (16°C), the car is located at home and at work in a garage. After a longer driving time and even at warmer outside temperatures, the automatic air conditioning is correct. Since I use my car mainly for the journey to work and back (about 20 – 40 minutes driving time), this phenomenon is very unpleasant. That I use my car several times at outside temperatures around the surface ierpunkt had to open the window in order to achieve an acceptable indoor climate, seems rather grotesque for a car in this price range. The car has been in the workshop five times since last October. Unfortunately, changes in the settings as well as the replacement of the control unit did not improve the situation. Is this a single problem or have other similar experiences? I am grateful for your feedback!
