I have a Octiva 1.6 diesel.

The internal heating is all over the place moving the dial does nothing.

just hot are all the time. A/C does not work and when you press the button the windscreen heater come on at the same time. Al very strange.

I did a test and got fault code B201000 Climate control - Climatronic ( 5 fault code)

Looking on line I can not find a solution or exactly what is wrong???

Any help would be useful!

Maybe the heater flaps need reset. On mine you press AC and ECON I think but it can vary depending on model. It may be that the climatronic control has lost calibration of heater flaps. Dont suppose the battery was disconnected?

See here:

Following the links for basic settings for an Octavia Mk2 brings up a page for a similar Golf

https://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/VW_Golf_(1K)_Climatic#Basic_Setting

in which it states "The basic setting needs to be performed, when the climatic control module or the temperture flap motor (V68) have been replaced."

So it may be that your temperature control flap motor (which mixes hot and cold air) has failed but it needs someone with appropriate software (such VCDS) to make the basic settings to adjust the way it operates after replacement.

There is a forum thread for VCDS showing which members are willing to use it for other forum members for free.

However, changing the flap motor is not for the faint hearted and you may wish both jobs to be entrusted a VAG garage.

hi thank you for your advise.

i tried is - Alternative: Some systems use [AC] + [Recirculation]. seams to work when the car is static.

will need to test on a drive

All climatronic units use AC with recirculation as a quick way of reducing the humidy and clearing water from the inside of the front window when the humidity is high on a not-hot day; you will see the AC light come on when you press the reciirculation switch.

With a faulty air mix flap you may find the air temp is reduced but you still need to replace the flap to so that the air is the same temperature as that selected by the dial.

can you point me in the right direction to find video on youtube to do the work.

see attached image, which one am i replacing, V71?

Thank you for your valuable help!

My previous link says it is V68.

As to basic setting of the flap motor after replacement, there may be a way to do it yourself.

There are a combination of two or three of the control buttons you can press to do this. The combination depends on which climatronic unit you have. There are a number of videos on you tube that you can try.

It is worth trying a reset before replacing the flap motor as it may not be faulty but just got stuck.

Below are two search results I found but I will let you go through them to find the right one.
