Seat Cordoba Automatic Temperature Control Problem

I'm at my wit's end with my 2007 Seat Cordoba. It's got a gasoline engine and about 70714 km on the clock. The automatic temperature control has completely stopped working! I ran a sensor diagnostics and it's throwing up an error related to the interior temperature sensor. The air conditioning system isn't even switching on. From what I've read, it might be a faulty cable or plug connection. Has anyone else had this kind of problem? It's like the car thinks it's always freezing!

Sounds like a pain! If the air conditioning isn't even switching on, and you're getting a fault code, it does point to the temperature sensor being the culprit. Have you checked the wiring and connector to the sensor itself? A loose connection can cause all sorts of havoc.

Thanks for the quick reply! I've had a quick look at the connector, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Is there an easy way to test the wiring to see if that's the problem?

Yeah, it really does sound like a dodgy connection. If you're not comfortable testing the wiring yourself, I'd honestly suggest taking it to a workshop. Messing with electricals can be a real headache, and you could end up causing more problems. For that model, sensor replacement shouldn't be too expensive; it's probably a quick job. It's like when your house thermostat goes bust - everything just goes haywire!

Just letting you know I got it sorted. Took it to a garage. They confirmed it was the interior temperature sensor. New sensor and fitting came to 95€. Climate control is working perfectly again. Thanks a lot for your help!
