Hello,

'Since yesterday, I've been having a problem where the display flashes when I turn on the ignition. (all the characters/symbols).'
After about 15 seconds, it stops, and the Climatronic system starts working normally again.


Before, I always had the problem that the outside temperature initially displayed 10°C and only adjusted to the correct value after a few minutes.

What could that be? (Especially the blinking.)

Thank you for your help.


(Volkswagen Golf III TDI, manufactured in 1995)

P.S. Can climate codes already be applied with this Climatronic system?

"Regarding the codes, you should definitely try it, as it allows you to clear the error memory. The flashing display indicates that there's an error. Search for "Climacodes" here or on Google. I have a Golf with a different system, so I can't help you with that!"

I tried using 'Econ', 'blue', and '-', but it didn't work.
I pressed them evenly on all sides.

That's correct; the code is for the new devices.

Can someone please just give me the correct keyboard shortcut?
I really can't find any other option!

Do not turn on the fan, as the airflow from the vehicle will provide sufficient ventilation.
