Why doesnt my heater /ac blow cold (note-brand new model)it has climate control, temp between 15 degrees and 27 degrees, but even just with ac on it wont chill the inside , anybody else have climate on a clio/meganne ?

Why doesn't it blow cold? Is that what you're asking..

Generally, aircon doesn't work when outside temp is below around 5C, to avoid icing up the evaporator.

Ford it's 5C, Hyundai is 4C. I'd be surprised if Renault isn't similar.

I'd have thought that even more likely to be true with Climate as opposed to aircon - wouldn't Climate just know "temperature in the car is 20, driver wants it to be 16, outside is 4" and just blow cold air from outside rather than bothering to turn on the aircon?

I'd assume aircon would always go 'colder, colder, colder' regardless of how cold the air inside or out already was (also bearing in mind HD's comment above which was news to me!).

climate control does not work like the if you want really cold your have to take it out of auto an manually set the blowers an a/c if your expecting artic coolness like fords then your going to be disappointed the a/c in renaults isnt that cool it only seems to be at its best during a decent spell of heat

mine seems to have got better with age

my only other guess is the system has a leak or a problem if its not making any cold air but id guess your trying to use auto which adjusts the controls the heat with the outside temp

very nice cars dci gts rare as well

Have you got it set to auto?

As said, it wont do anything in this weather - Wait until the summer and you will appreciate it. I used to have a new shape Clio and the aircon is brilliant on them!

Update , lookers Stockport replace heater module as this was faulty, car has only done 3,500 miles and has had Airbag fault aswell(loom didnt cure it, required wire fix between 62 miles and 2,000 miles)
Maybe a Friday afternoon car or just a Renault ?........last one i had no bother
