Problem with Climate Control, please help!
A co-worker just got a 99 A4 1.8t. Not sure if it's a 99.5 or not, but here is her problem, she thanks everyone in advance:
The problem with the climate control is that when it's cold outside (below 40), the buttons don't work. It's not that they stick, they just don't respond. The settings stay on whatever they were the last time the car was driven. One cold morning, I had no heat for my commute here because I turned the heat off the night before. Although all of this is inconvenient, what I'm most concerned with is the front defroster. If I forget to turn it on the night before, I'm afraid the windows will fog up on a rainy/snowy day.
I have a 3 month warrantee on the car, but the dealer says that might not be covered. So I'm looking for other options.
Everyone, any ideas? Any suggestions for this newbie? THANKS!

If the dealer is stating that it is not covered.
Easily try and show him that the item does not work to begin with and then use the bill of sale as a means of contract that if the car was purchased under the intent that the vehicle was not "sold as is" therefore the faulty item should be replaced as it is defective prior to the purchase of the vehicle.
