Problem with Heat/AC

I have had the same problem, on two separate occasions. I leave my HVAC system in auto nearly year-round, and I noticed the problem when I first started the car. I turned off the car, then restarted. In both cases, it worked. I'm somewhat curious to know why the system behaves this way also.

Typical German electrics.

Run, don't walk, from the damn German cars.

Now there's a troll if I ever saw one... go home little boy.. take your action man with you.

Awww, don't like to hear the truth, do you.

Fact: German electrics are as bad as anything Lucas ever put out.

On the contrary, I just think you've got some kind of problem that you need to be a keyboard warrior and shout your attacks in a news group..

Just plain sad really.

Whether or not you think German electronics are bad is irrelevant to me. I can be the judge of my own vehicle as and when I need to. Don't need some two bit fool to tell me.

Go crawl back into your hole

C'mon fellows! We're all friends, here! When did this group become Slashdot? ;-)

Apparently not, judging from your jumping in here.

Well you amused me primarily..

Same thing happened to me in my early production 03' S. It only happened once and everything worked fine again next time I drove it. I asked the service guy at the local dealership and he said it had to do with the "boot-up" of the ECU software when starting engine with the climate control "on". It never happens if you shut "off" the climate control first before turning off the engine.

I too, have a 2003 S. My car has started several times in the last three years with a "boot" failure on the AC. Usually, if I turn the car off, then back on the issue resolves itself.
