2016 Golf sometimes heater cannot be turned off

well put!

Thanks Idle do you know what they did to fix it? My aircon is also pretty *****.. worst i have seen on any of my cars..

Sorry, it was at the 2016 service and my memory isn't good.

All the invoice says is "Carry out campaign 45D4 - update ECU software"
"Criterion 01 and 05"
Maybe some-one more knowledgeable than I can interpret that.

I have this issue on the MY14 Highline wagon. If I turn on the climate, set it to a low temperature or "Lo", blast it for 30 seconds and turn it off, the warm air stops.


Steps to reproduce:

1. Set climate to 26c at end of trip.
2. Turn off climate control.
3. Following day, drive car. Leave climate off.
4. Warm air.

It appears that the heating system is still activated even when the climate is turned off but still sues the climate settings to determine whether to blow the air or not.

Curious to know if this was fixed on the 7.5.

No. My 7.5 Trendline had this problem. So far the GTI (also 7.5) seems not to (touch wood).

That may not have been specific to the aircon?

Mine has this same issue. Mid 2015 build, just done the 3 year service. It happens seemingly randomly...
