2012 320dSE Climate control
Discussion
I have a query over the operation of the CCU on my car (which has been examined by a BMW dealer and pronounced correct).
Having previously run a recent 120d SE and a 520d SE I find the system behaves differently from either of the others.
In manual mode I can control temperature, direction (but no screen option on the left hand side) and fan speed and the bar graph shows the fan setting.
If I go to auto I can only control the temperature either side, there seems to be no auto fan control - the fan speed indicator stays at one setting and can only be changed manually??
When the engine is fully warmed on a cool morning and the temperature is increased from an ambient 18 up to 25, and the fan is set to minimum, there is no change in fan speed unless I override the existing setting.
This is completely different to my two previous cars, which would have responded to the increased temperature setting by increasing the fan speed as well.
Thoughts??
Thanks in anticipation
