Golf R Observations and Questions

Funnily enough I think the exact opposite - on the lowest setting the AC blows way too hard and I have to turn the vents away to keep comfortable once the temperature reaches the desired level.

Same here

Best AC I've had in a vehicle

Fine for me as well. I often find my right hand starting to freeze after a while so redirect the driver vent a bit higher or turn the temp up.

I'm surprised at how quickly the cabin heats up if I ever turn AC off near the end of a trip, within seconds I want to turn it back on.

Interesting. I had mine on full lately and struggle to feel it on my face.

You have to close the windows.

Anyone else think the aircon fan strength is pathetic!

Just a question, have you checked that each vent is actually open.?

Yes. I do find that it cools down very quickly don't get me wrong. The ac in the car is brilliant. Especially the right hand thing, gets cold quick.

Yes the car heats up very quick too after turning it off.

It's the fan I have the problem with. My old Jap car used to create a tornado in the car! Would blow my hair away when on full. The R does not.

AC great! Fan not so.

Not sure where you're from originally but tornadoes are generally a bad thing...

You could always try sticking your head out the window

Gold Ryan. I'll pay that one. The AC is very effective, just wished the fan would blow harder.

The dirty in me grinned at this.

Depends on the setting of the re-circ button. If it is in A the outside vent will open allowing hot air to be pushed out initially. After a while the vent will close into re-circ mode giving higher air flow within the cabin. You can control fresh air or re-circ or Auto with the same button.

Low speed & high volume compared to high speed low volume?

[nickows]

My AC is very noisy. There is almost always a constant hissing noise when the AC is turned on. The hissing is noticable even when driving up to 60-70km/h. It disappears as soon as you turn the AC off (with the fan still running).

And the gradation between different temperature settings feels non-existent. 25 degrees feels just as cold as 18 degrees. I normally set the AC to a higher temperature (24-25 degrees) but it's still freezing.

Anyone else experiencing this?

[Ryan_R]

Hissing is normal, no?

[Ideo]

I remember back in the day when it was seen as amazing to have a 3 speed fan. Now we are complaining about how little difference there is in the temp we can set in one section of the car.

I don't remember much these days.

No idea what happened yesterday.

Maybe it's the cold air from the AC

If it's a loud hiss then maybe a vacuum line has come off an actuator or one of the flaps isn't closing properly - hence no discernable difference in AC temp.
