ukstacks 1 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Evening allGot 2 problems im having with my vr, thinks its 1997. 1) climatronic is working then comes up with HE where outside temp should be?When first comes on you can't adjust fan speed unless u raise temp which then makes HE appear then you can adjust? Tried another panel and same problem? :/2) currently have an aftermarket stereo but it's very basic so wanting to swap it over with an aftermarket one from my mums car. Plug it all in ok except no power? Read in the new stereo manual that some VW/ Audi may need to be wired differently? Not very clued up when it comes to wiring so bit confused Based in Watford (herts) if anyone local can sort it out will be willing to pay and travel Thanks guys and gals Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtysanchez 0 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 My VR didn't have a switched live to the stereo (I've read that this fairly common, there's someone else on here that didn't have one either). To get round this I ran a switched live from the heater controls (although as you've got climatronic I wouldn't know which one to tap into). Try running a live to the red AND yellow wire on the stereo and see if it'll switch on. Obviously, you'll need the earth connected too Link to post Share on other sites
eastwood john 1 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 have you done any work on the vr prior to finding problemcheck out your sensor on your bumper, may have taken a knock from a pebble. Link to post Share on other sites
ukstacks 1 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sorted the radio, got one done professionally was just easier lol. Although I had no ignition amp wire so for time being its running of the battery so just got to remember to take it out to stop draing the battery No John haven't done anything, climatronic has been a constant problem since we got the vr, always a different problem though lol. Didn't know there was a sensor? Where is it so I can have a looksie Link to post Share on other sites
