Re: Audi 500CSQ climate control problem

["Mike Miller" <MikeMilr@email.msn.com>]

On my 91 200q, the A/C will not come on if the outside temp is below 40
deg. F. This is by design. So if the sensor mistakenly thinks it's 32, then
it isn't going to work. Who would want to use the A/C below 40 anyway?
