Default Question about the HVAC system (the fan control) ~

Is anyone aware of how to re-program the fan control? If you've noticed, whether or not you press Automatic, the fan seems to have a mind of it's own! If you change the temperature, the fan sometimes increases or decreases - even if you set the fan manually, it changes on it's own again! In just about every other car I've have before, you can set it for automatic or fully manual ... either, or. But, in the TT, it seems they want to take control of the fan no matter what!

I checked with the dealership - they agreed, it's sort of weird, but didn't know of any way to change (correct) it.

Default Thank you for noticing that and proving to me that I am not out of my mind...

... at least not on this issue. I was playing with the fan/AC all weekend and couldn't figure out why I couldn't control it.

Default is this a 2001 "feature" ? doesn't happen to me in my 2000 180QC

when i de-select auto and choose a fan speed, it stays at my chosen speed until i change it.

Default My 2000 TTQC does exactly the same

Every single time I start the car, the fan come on at high speed no matter what. I ususally have the Auto OFF since I don't need the a/c on. But the fan doesn't seem to know that so it goes on high trying to cool the car down (or warm it up when it's cold outside).
Drives me crazy, I have to manually turn the fan down every time.

Default My 2000c does the same but what is more annoying is (more)

when i set the ac on "recirulate" and have it change back to outside air when i turn off the key. My Buick Regal did the same thing , its crazy.
