Ambient Temperature Gauge

[Guest]

My ambient temp doesn't work right in my F6 either... Doesn't bother me though as the CC still works fine on auto

[tinyplums]

my abient thingy works good, when hot outside the c/c pours cold water on me leg to keep me cool.

isnt 55k for a g6et bloody cheap, maybe they made cost cuts on your abient temp sensor.

Mine was on Saturdays tab - I'm booked in for 3 weeks time cos that's the first available loaner they had.

(PS. What are they gonna charge me for a loaner?) I think mine suggests the tank is about 52 litres - 16 litres off what it should be, which means its out by about 24%!

Plums I think list price was $54,290 (last year anyway, before the price rise) - not sure exactly, I get employee pricing.

You're probably onto something though! Maybe that's why it's $5k cheaper than the Calais V...

No Ronald and Tabitha I meant that you choose a number that you want and fan speed and just leave it there! Mine says Semi-Auto.

SEMI that's probably what you both get instead of a Fully! lmfao

BTW how do you push start an auto? Mongoloid

The point is you neanderthal, regardless of what fan-speed, temperature, intake, direction etc. you manually set your CC to it will still compensate according to sunload and outside temperature.

So you can push as many farkin buttons as you like, but it will not cool to the correct temp. Try holding an ice cube under the passenger mirror and see how much it retards the cooling because it thinks its cold outside so therefore wont cool as much.

I guess that's why it's called "SEMI-auto"!

[tab]

....and forgot to add, definitely don't just get a semi when I'm thinking of you Marcus

Well mine must be one out of the box gorgeous. In the middle of winter, if I set to low and full fan speed, you could freeze water and vice versa in summer on hot.

[tab]

Clever...try doing it set on a temperature though dufus, low or hot will give you maximum cooling/heating regardless of what's going on. That's the point I'm trying to get across.

Oh and I realise you can't push start an auto, if the starter is f*cked you'll just have to jump start it instead!

Ahhhh.... I wondered where the sensor was....

Also. Seems kind of silly that the CC would worry what temp it is outside. If you set it on 29 degrees in the middle of summer, it should heat it to 29. It shouldn't take stupidity into account.

Also again. Mine is always out too but only by 2-3 degrees... But surely it is destined to fail anyway. I don't see how you can get an accurate (exact) reading on a moving vehicle. There are too many factors in play.
