997.2 aircon too cold...?

[James.Burton]

Hi,
It's 15°C out, and even with the aircon set to 26°C it's blowing cool air.
Only when I push the target tempt up to 29°C does it start blowing warm.
Any ideas what could be wrong, and how to fix?
Cheers

Sounds like it could be a temperature sensor issue, either internal or external.

What temp does the dash display (next to the rev counter)? If it's wrong the sensor behind the front bumper has failed.

Have you tried vacuuming out the little temperature sensor in the dashboard? There is a small grill in the centre above the temperature display that sometimes gets blocked with dust.

Dash temp display for outside temp, is good.
I’ll try vacuuming in the inside where you suggest.
Thanks for the tips

If vacuuming doesn't do the trick you may need to replace one of these (from 911UK forum).

"Note that there are two sensors in the cabin - one on the passenger side dash, which is easy to change, and one behind the A/C console which is a pain in the bum to get to. The easy one - that fixed it for me - is one of these

The one behind the A/C console is different

so make sure you get the right one."
