Blowing warm air through vents even when climatronic is turned off

[Lucas_R]

Turn your climatronic back on and im sure you will find that the temp is set higher than ambient - and the climatronic somehow remembers this when you turn it off......so if you have the climatronic set to 20c and then turn it off, and its a 14c day it will feel like hot air is blowing out because its blowing out air at 20c still.

Hi All,

My Scirocco seems to blow out warm air through all dash vents when the climatronic is turned OFF. Also can feel warm air in the foot wells, like when wearing shorts I can feel warm air on my legs.

My misses' MKV GTI doesn't do this at all, so I find it strange that it's doing it in my car.

Aircon and heater seem to be working tops, but it's annoying when I don't want any air coming through when the windows are open, but warm air blows out the vents when climatronic is OFF. Especially on a warm sunny day!

Anyone else experienced this before and know how to remedy it?

Cheers,

Andy

My car never used to blow out air until about a week ago (bout a weeeek agoooo) when I started to use my air con regularly. I just close the vents when it gets uncomfortable. I thought of it to be a normal thing that didn't need to be worried about
