I'm in the market for a cheap vauxhall, and am somewhat confused as to the difference between Air Conditioning, and Climate Control. I assumed that CC was a derivative of AC with a closed-loop control system, however, it seems the lower-spec'd cars come with CC, whilst the higher speced come with AC/CC - suggesting the former doesn't have AC.
So, my question is - just what is Climate Control, and what is its relationship to Air Conditioning.
...and to keep it on topic with uk.rec... is there anything I should be wary of when checking out CC and/or AC equipped cars? - obviously - does it get cold, but anything like service intervals / gassing frequency?
