Air conditioning seems too cold...

Maybe this is all in my head, but as the warm weather returns (I live in Minnesota) and I am using my air conditioning, it seems too cold. When I set the cabin temp at 76, it feels decidedly cold. Even 78 seems too cool.

Have issues been reported for the e-Golf and climate control/air conditioning? Mine is the 2019 SEL Premium, and it still has a few months warranty left.

Re: Air conditioning seems too cold...

Why not just turn the temperature up higher? Reduce fan speed? Turn on Eco mode? It sounds like the A/C is working just fine (very good) but the control algorithm is a bit problematic (not great, but not horrible either). There is a temperature sensor somewhere in the center console, so why not try vacuuming everywhere it looks like there is a small hole for temperature sensing, and the problem may go away.

Thanks for the good idea. I should do a spring cleaning of the interior anyway. :)

Re: Air conditioning seems too cold...

So, I drove somewhere with my wife in the passenger seat, which prompted her side to go from "Eco" to some temperature setting. This seemed to restore the set point temperature so that the AC no longer seems too cold. I guess it was a control/software glitch. So unlike VW to have a software issue.... :lol:
