    Remote climate issue

    Hi

    I own a 2L Disco 5 and we have noticed this winter that when starting the car remotely and setting the temp to "HI"... the car after 15 mins is still blowing out cold air.

    This always worked in the past...

    So initially I thought "maybe the car hasn't warmed up enough yet".. so I tested it.

    I arrived home when the heating was working fine, i.e. hot air blowing from vents. Locked the car, and after 5 mins, restarted the car via the Remote App. Left it for another 5 mins, and entered the car... without touching anything, the vents were blowing out cold air... as soon as I touched the brake pedal, all the lights in the controls come on... and within 10 seconds, hot air coming out the vents.

    I have asked my local LR dealer if this is a known issue and can it be fixed (I'm assuming software??), but they have said they've not heard of it before, and they want to charge me £210 per hour whilst they investigate it??

    Has anyone on here had the same issue and if so, how did it get fixed?

    Thank you.

    What happens if you set it to 28 degrees?

    Hi jimbg

    Thanks for that. I did test this last night when the engine was already warm and yes that worked!

    I’ll test it again from a cold engine and see if it blows any warm air.

    Curious.. had you seen this issue before? I’m just surprised JLR don’t know this stuff? (or maybe I’m not surprised!)

    Thanks

    Just a guess as I know it works with selecting a "normal" temperature, probably a bug in the app software or cars software.
