    Vehicle : Vectra C

    Trim : SRi 140bhp

    Engine : 1.8

    Year : 2007

    Mileage : 60,000

    Default Two more queries

    A couple of unconnected issues with my 1.8SRi, 57 plate

    Firstly when I tried the quick clear windscreen tonight the air was coming out not much warmer than outside, surely it should at least be warm to clear the windscreen? I even tried manually setting the blower to 4 and hitting the aircon button and it was the same. When I use the aircon on cold its nice and chilled so I don't think I need a regas.

    Also whenever I'm coming off the motorway the stereo turns itself down, not a problem you might think but I like my music loud wherever I am lol. Is there a way to stop this happening as I assume the Vectra has the speed sensor thingy which is supposed to alter the volume to speed of the car?

    I've had the car 2 months and have so far only had minor probs like these and hope it stays the same, I'm lovin the Vectra

    The quick clear will clear the windscreen even if the air is only slightly warmer than outside, this is normal.
    Some of the headunit's fitted to the Vectras have a "adjust for speed" function, it may be possible to tuen this off in the stereo settings or may require a tech2/vauxcom/opcom session. Is it a CDC40 by any chance?

    Hi Martyn

    You will need to access the setup menu and adjust the speed volume differences to leave volume alone. It sounds like the previous owner set it as per the factory settings for safety over volume

    I found with the quick clear screen ...the air blasts so fast through the heater that it cant possibly heat up quick enough. I then found if you set manual heater blower to number 3 with heater on full temp.. the air flow is a bit slower then hotter air comming through clears the screen quicker.

    The quick clear screen setting isnt just for heating.

    It turns on the aircon so it takes the moisture out of the air too and clears it quicker.

    And yes it sounds like the SDVC (speed dependent volume control) is turned on.
