confused with my MR2 Spec..

Post by Ed209 »

hiya..well iv had my car for 6 months now and im still confused as to whether i have climate control or not.....

Ive got a 94 Gltd import..
I have the retangular sensor on the dash..
I have Aircon/Econ
but...

The fan speed goes LO - (dot)- (2 dots) - Hi
and LO is actually a higher speed then the single dot..
the temp setting doesnt have any numbers on...

strange...

Initially, as you've got the sunlight sensor on the dashboad, I'd say that you did have CC, but as you don't have numbers on your temperature slider, I'm not overly sure...

Have you got an 'auto' setting on your fan speed control?

I have the Climate Control on my 91 Gltd

On the Fan Dial there is an Auto Setting - this is what turns on the Climate Control. The Auto Setting runs the fans to get the car up to or down to the temperature you set and adjusts the fan speed acordingly.

Another way of seeing whether your climate control is fitted is to have a look under the drivers side of the dash.

On the left hand side below the steering wheel - there should be a small grill of about three slats - behind this should be a small black rubber pipe - this is where the heater matrix sucks in air to see how warm the cabin is and to set the fans acordingly.

Hope this helps.

no just the LO etc..as described..

the temp control just has an arrow either side with Blue on the left one and Red on the right one ..
someone suggested that it may be CC but has had the er Labels? taken off and the wrong ones put back on?
oooo i dont know..!!!

sounds like it's been re stickered m8

set it to 'LO' (everyone elses 'auto') does the cabin stay the same temperature or does it get hotter or colder? does the fan speed up & slow down by itself?

mines - off / auto / low / : / high

Then you don't have Climate Control.

The sensor thingy is for the Air Conditioning I think. Something to do measuring the heat inside the cockpit. I think that the hotter it is, the colder the air con blows ..... I think.

Can't really remember if I'm honest.

To be honest. Ive tried to live with the climate, but I cant be bothered with it, so i keep altering the temperture to stop it feeling stuffy.

G-limited means top of the range for N/As. As with all the extras.

Aircon's nice in the summer though! 8)

i have climate and it's great, gives a good blast of air and the auto setting saves me messing with the speed :)

air con is wicked for steamy windows as it takes out the humidity in the air and clears it faster than a standard heater ;)


gonna be nice come summer :) just wish my air con didn't smell, think it's cos it's not been used in a while, or shaf shat in it when i wasn't looking :x

You can get a spray from Toyota to kill the slimy fungus stuff that causes the smell. Just ask them for the stuff to clean out your smelly aircon. Ask them nice and they'll tell you what to do with it.....
