Fabia AC blower puzzle

[drabhie]

i am quite puzzled by fabia's AC blower. it is not HVAC/climate control.

i drive in dusty outdoors so always keep the recirc mode 'on'. when about to reach my destination i usually switch off AC but it simultaneously switches off recirc mode also and i have to manually switch it on. But sometimes when I switch off AC the recirc mode stays on?

i just can not understand what i should do...i have tried long press or short press but it is of no use

any comments please?

It's not a solution as such, but you are aware that the Fabia with air con (in fact any VAG car with a/c) has an air filter in the ventilation intake?

Yeah...mine does it, and so does my sisters, and my neighbours Skoda Fabia too! Must be normal. It could also be linked to a safety thing I guess. It's dangerous to drive for very long with the 'air recirc' in the on position! It warns you in the handbook not to do that as it makes you gradually become drowsy through lack of oxygen! 10 minutes is the maximum amount of time you should have have it switched on.

All Fabias a/c or not have pollen filters.

but why sometimes when ac button is pushed off recirc goes on. let me remind you again that it is a manual ac

All Fabias a/c or not have pollen filters.

all modern cars have a pollen filter,fabia, vag or otherwise
