156 Centigrade and Farenheit
Hi,
Had my 2003 156 2.4JTD for about a month/1500 miles now and extremely happy with it. However one thing is puzzling me - the climate control readout is in Farenheit, although the owners manual shows it in Centigrade...........Is there a way of changing this somehow? Or is it an undocumented A-R feature! Can't seem to find anything in the manual...........and being a metric aged person, I'm finding it a bit weird to set up now its getting colder......... It's a UK spec car by the way. Any help much appreciated, Charles |

After 2 years and 50k miles I've had only one failure that made it impossible to drive the car (bad alternator). However there were a couple of other issues (soms minor but irritating nevertheless). I have to admit the 2.4 JTD is a blast to drive! After two years I still enjoy driving this car! > However one thing is puzzling me - the climate control readout is > in Farenheit, although the owners manual shows it in Centigrade........... > Is there a way of changing this somehow? Yes, there is. However, it must be done by the dealer. The option in the menu will only change the readout of the outside temperature, not on the climate control. Steven - - - |

And I have just tried to change the climate setting on mine and found no problem changing from Farenhiet to Centigrade and back again. If you press the mode control, go into units, then into Temp, you may find yours is set to F, press +/- for F or C Then mode to return, and it should be into Centigrade. Hope this helps, good luck.

OK thanks Steven. Will ask dealer to take a look at it.
Changing units of infocentre does just change outside temp readout only, thanks anyway John. When I said extremely happy, I should probably of said bl***dy-well ecstatic! Might be going over-board a little bit (honeymoon period and all that), but I cant believe what a car I've got for the money. Puts a big grin on my face at the prospect of a drive. Needless to say been going the long way to work...............Just hope it stays that way. Last car was from V-A Group (Leon) and wasn't exactly what I would call reliable (door seals, instrument binacle, air mass meter, air con compressor). I think a lot of Golf owners will recognise these faults too. So if the 156 does better than this, I will be one happy man! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steven Spits" > Newsgroups: alt.autos.alfa-romeo Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 8:26 AM Subject: 156 Centigrade and Farenheit > "Ed" wrote: > >> Had my 2003 156 2.4JTD for about a month/1500 miles now and >> extremely happy with it. > > I have a 2002 2.4JTD.
