Phil21185 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 When I pull up to reverse onto my drive, as soon as I select reverse gear, if the aircon is on LO it kicks in twice as hard, as if the recirc fan is on. Anyone else had this? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fkuk Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Wheb your drivibg forwardsx you are moving towards the wind When driving backwards it has to compensate because you moving away from the wind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take it out of reverse does the fan then slow down again? If so it sounds as if the signal from the reverse light switch is having some strange effect in the BCU. Maybe it would be worth disconnecting the battery for half an hour to reset the ECUs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Do you have an aftermarket radio and/or a reverse camera? Seems a strange set of symptoms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 No its the stock Sony Sat Nav system with sync 1 and no reverse camera yet.... Yes when I engage reverse the recirc fan comes on. It stays on for a little while after shifting out of reverse though...Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I didn't think there was a separate fan for recirculation. I thought this was just done by moving flaps in the heater. I note in your first post you said 'if the aircon is on LO'. Do you mean that it only does it at that setting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Seems to be. I'll need to test it thoroughly I think to find exactly what causes it. No I didn't mean there was a separate fan, but the change in sound and speed of the wind is the same as pressing the recirc button and it doesn't do it if recirc is already on.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil21185 Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Well I think if I drive away from the wind all the time then I'll have no wind resistance and will be able to travel at limitless speeds.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tknight Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hey guys, did this ever get solved? I have the exact same problem In the same car as above. I noticed my heaters fan speed weren’t quite as fast as they used to be but when I put it in reverse it kicks in full pelt. Put it back into 1st and after a few seconds it dies down again.

DanOxlade Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 To add to the mystery, it also happens for me when I spray screenwash (while spraying) then slows again a few seconds after. I'd love to get to the bottom of this as the airflow is otherwise pathetic unless recirculate is turned on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
