Have had new car for 1 week and A/C does not work all the time. Sometimes you can get it to work others not, when you press the A/C button the ReCir light comes on.
Holden know of problem but are "working on fix"??
Spend $39K and live in centeral Vic and no AC, not impressed, anyone else have same issue?

Yep my parents SV6 has this issue.
Apparently its a switch or something and havs happened to a few ppl.
I took it up the coast yesterday ( 1 hour 110 km/h) and it worked the whole way.
But round the city its fan speed goes all over the place and occasionally ciuts out all together>
We have just added it to the list of problems that now have to be fixed (handbrake, centre speaker and the seatbuckle recall).|
But although these issues are present the car is still greaty and we did expect a few niggles.
I realise it ia a royal pain in the a**e but its all part and parcel of a new model car.

i took and SV6 for test drive and i wanted the air con on and would you guess it the AC played up right in front of the sales guy. i think he tried his best to cover up the problem but in the end ended up big red faced

Apparently it's not a problem with climate control fitted cars... Can anyone confirm this at all?

Your local dealer should have the revised HVAC modules from SALMAT, so go in and see whether your vehicle is flagged on system for replacement.

ac problems

I have been told by a spy in Holden that it occurs when the fan speed exceeds notch 11.

Shutting the engine down should re cycle it.

We are not having the problem with Nov Build.
