I'm hoping a regas fixes mine, but I'm not doing it until after the MOT on the 4th of July It stopped working on way back from taking my stepdaughter home, I also noticed the external air temp sensor had dropped from 27 to -17 degrees C. Wondering if that’s anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted Wednesday at 03:27 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:27 PM Definitely the temp sensor. Started up after work and it read 27, A/C ice cold. By the time I’d got to Midhurst outdoor temp was apparently -4 and it was trying to warm me up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted Wednesday at 03:40 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:40 PM Most modern* AC systems make use of the outside air temp sensor and a sunlight detector on the dashboard to adjust the amount of cooling being generated. Many systems can cope with the loss of one or either of these sensors, but some use them as gospel and turn off the AC if it thinks it's not necessary, even if the interior car sensor is at 30c and you're requesting 20c. Clearly the Saab/Vaux system is one of those. The good news is that the sensor is often an industry standard NTP sensor, meaning you don't need a £30 sensor from a dealer, you can use a 99p sensor from ebay and splice it in. Do check first tho!
