In my excitement of buying my A2, I made a reasonable assumption, but failed to do the correct level of homework, with some significant consequences.....
I was (and still am) under the assumption that if there is a working climate control module in an A2, then it has air conditioning.
This, along with what now appears to be seriously disengenous information from the seller, convinced me all was well in this area.
No, I did not test it went cold, and did not look closely enough under the bonnet.
I now find out there is no air con kit at all and the option codes imply there never was any.
I am not sure if there is history in people changing from the 'what I would expect' 3 dial control where there is no A/C, to the automatic nature of the climate control module, but I can't find anything.
Could it have been a factory option, even without A/C? No presence in the option codes of such a thing......
Anyway, it seems to all work, apart from getting cold, and I don't think I want to take on the huge job of adding A/C, so I will need to just suffer in the 40 degree heat this summer.
Beware the climate control module........
