Default Climate control

Hello, I have an a6 2016 saloon

I recently had a flat battery and had to call out someone to jump start it. The AA man ran a battery check and advised the battery is not 100%. Due to this he plugged in the computer and there was loads of faults...he said this was down to when I tried to turn the engine over not enough power was getting through to the relevant systems so it registered a fault. He managed to clear all the faults expect one...sonething to do with the instrument display. Anyway it all looks and runs fine.

however, there is now a problem with the climate control. I always leave it off and turn it on whenever I need it. Now it comes on automatically after about 30 secs of driving. When I turn it off it comes back on again about 20-30 seconds later.

in addition the sync button goes off after a couple of minutes and if I was to change the fan speed the drivers side is always plus one more than the passenger. If I press the sync button it all matches up but again if I press off it comes back on.

any ideas...could it be the battery is not powering all the systems and I need a new one....is it the last code that couldn't cleared...any thoughts would be great.

cheers

Cabn't comment on the specifics but modern cars, including the A6, are very sensitive to the battery and if the AA man is suggesting there is a problem then you shoul dget it checked at the dealer. From your post (and reference to the AA) I presume you are in the UK, in which case your car (being a 2016) is still under warrantry so I would recommend going to the dealer to get this sorted. I would have thought this would be a warranty item as a battery failing after less than 2 years is not normal.

The OP cannot be in the UK because nobody can control the climate there.��
