Default my heater/ac is possesed by demons.

the air kicks in when i first start my car and then a minute later it dies out and just stops blowing air from any of the vents and it won't work no matter if i reset it. I have no idead what it could be. I'm thinking of getting my radiator flushed because I'm thinking maybe something is clogged.

Default When i start my car and set the control to auto, the fan will not even blow...

I have to manually control the fan. It takes about 10 minutes before the auto function works.

Default The heater won't blow air that is colder than the set temp.

It is doing what you are telling it to do. If you set it to 75 degrees then the auto climate control will begin blowing 75 degree air when the car is warm enough to produce the set temp. It does not matter in summer because the air conditioner can always produce cold air if you have your temp set to cool down the hot environment---regardless of the engine temperature.

Default This is by design. It waits for the coolant temp to come up

before it blows. Thus not blasting ice cold air into the cabin.

The climate control head stores cc system error codes. Have it VAG'd.

Default Sounds right. My control unit on the blower went out and

it was then on (at high speed) all the time. It controlled the temp ok but the blower was then on all the time.
