Hey,

 

I've got a 2006 Octavia with a small problem which will become bigger in the winter. My car is equipped with dual zone climate control. If it's 10 degrees celcius outside and you set the heating to 25 degrees celcius on both the driver and the passengers side, only the passenger will get hot air. The driver will get very cold air, no matter what the temperature is set to.

 

I've read that this might be a temperature sensor issue, somewhere deep in the dashboad, but I'm not too sure about it. I've already calibrated the flaps by pressing the bottom left button and the eco button at the same time. You could hear the flaps calibrating, but no change in temp afterwards. I've also read this post about it: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/51397-new-octavia-tips-and-tricks/

However, I'm not sure which menu and submenu will show me the passenger and the drivers side detected sensor temp.

 

Are there any ways to turn off the dual zone climate system and just set it to one temperature again? Or any other ways to work around this problem?

 

Cheers

Anyone?

I had a similar issue with the climate control on an Audi A4 a few years back.

The  solution was to get the car connectedness up to a VCDS computer and carry out the basic settings on the heater flaps. This would recalibrate the heater flaps and everything would work correctly again. 

It was a common problem on the Audis, not sure if the Skoda uses a similar system.

had this on my 1st yeti - problem was control of the zone flaps and that by the temp sensor, sensor replaced and that sorted the problem, mine was done under warranty!

It is possible to recalibrate the flaps yourself, and I already did. I'm pretty sure that it is the temp. sensor though. But I'm just wondering if there are anyways to bypass this
