what firmware is on the columbus?

Columbus is running 4120

only thing i can think now is old gateway.. or because the columbus was retro fitted ( hope not )

Just checking, you did have dual zone climate before? (with 2 lcd screens with temp)

 

I've fitted newer style climate to cars with older K version gateway

 

what one do you have now?

Yes

 

current gateway is K ... i have a brand new gateway here ready to code but the guy that was coding it said it wouldnt accept the coding

Edited 10 March, 201412 yr by Tim_davies-moss

it might be the firmware if it stops the battery draining

so i need to find someone else to code my gateway then new FW ( or a 4120 without battery drain stop )

I doubt it would fit. It's a totally different style and system

It has the same plugs!

I saw somewhere but I do not know where.

Do you really think that it is only the plugs relevant?!?

Cmon.

On the other hand, I found that you can retrofit new style Climatronic from a VW Golf 7 to the Golf 6 without problems, it fits and works

EDIT:

Look here:

:rolleyes:

There is a guy on eBay selling them.

Not too much expensive (selling new climatronic panels and the needed fascia-trim sorround OEM)

Do you have Octavia 2 pre-FL or FL?

If you have FL...then you can test in live if you have some climatronic panel from O3 by hand nearby.

But they are not phisically same...

I have a pre fl. I know you can fit fl into pre fl. With a lot of work

FL O2 climatronic to the pre-FL O2 is not a lot of work. Depends do you have two motors or only one in car (depends on production year model)--→ problem with recirculation accours

What do you mean with theese?

Did not undersrand you..

The MK3 unit needs a different sized cutout when compared to the MK2 FL or MK pre-FL. If the ebay seller mentioned is correct, then the MK3 might be electrically similar enough to the MK2 FL to just work. This is just based on the similarity of the Golf and Octavia in MK7/MK3 vs MK6/MK2 FL configurations. It would need someone with access to both to prove this.

 

MK2 FL in to a MK2 pre-FL isn't a hard task and needs a little wiring work and the installation of an air quality sensor to sort error codes. That would suggest that a MK2 pre-FL might also be able to take a MK3 style unit assuming it's modified in the same way.

 

It needs a skilled someone to try it first and report back.

 

So in answer to this question:

Can i put the climatronic unit from octavia 3 on my octavia 2? 5e0907044a ?

 

If it's a MK2 FL, then probably.

If it's a MK2 pre-FL, then it'll be harder work but still a possibility.

Both will need a custom facia.

 

I doubt many people will be interested due to the lack of OEM facia's that will fit so your probably one of very few who will try.

 

Keep us updated and if anyone has a MK3 climatronic laying around I'm happy to plug it into my car after checking the pin outs.

You can easy find a lot of a MK3 climatronic units very cheap on eBay these days...used ones

My idea, from few months before, when find this retrofit of Golf MK7/MK6, was to try the new style Superb 3 (MK3) climatronic to the Superb 2...

I found some S3 (MK3) climatronic panels on eBay...but in doubt try the retrofit or not...

They are not same in compare to the O3...

In theory should work...but have not found nobody do it in practice ...yet

i will try these days because i have one left from an b7 passat , I'll keep you posted

The fascia is not a problem ...it can be done

Very good...to what car are you planning to plug it in?

Yes I agree...fascia can be modified...or built (plexiglass-fiberglass-epoxy)

My car octavia 2005 with some mod...i have new can gateway, rs 2008 instrument cluster, rns 510  etc

If anyone is interested in doing this mod I now have a climatronic panel for sale in the for sale section.

Ok !

what i need to do because i just insert the new vw golf 7 climate control panel and i have only the lights onwith ignition on.

No display(the 2 displays with temperature)  and no control.

I need to change pin 16 with 20 or what should i do next?

I already tried to put 5G0907044R in my octavia 2006 and it is not working, can this part number be compatible with my car?
