The Climatronic display on the Mark VI Golfs (and others that use the same system) has a heap of information that can be accessed like the Mark V.
Golk Mark V Information is here – Volkswagen Climatronic Information – Mark V
To access the information follow the steps as shown on the image.
- Hold down the “AC” button and press the “Window Vent” button, release when the LED’s on both buttons start flashing alternatively.
- The left hand knob adjusts the Main Channel, the centre buttons (FAN) adjusts the Sub Channel.
- To exit press the “AC” button.

Further details to follow.
does this work with RNS510 (mark 6) as i could get the buttons to flash but when adjusting the left hand knob there are no numbers appearing for main channel and pressing the fan button also gives no numbers for sub channel
Where did you buy that dash trim?
This is cool. To bad the Golf 6 in the United States doesn’t come with Climatronic and only Climatic.
I have the Polo 6R (2010 model) which also has a climatronic. I tried what you say and I couldn’t get into Diagnostics mode. Maybe there’s a different approach? I need to know the oil temp as the dashboard doesn’t even have water temp!
does the polo 2010 having this function?
I installed the new climatronics (shown in the picture above), the AC starts automatically when the car starts at low, and then the compressor switches off by itself. also, when I put the Auto on, the the compressor works only for 20 seconds and then switch off again. I have to shut the AC off for at least 20 minutes before starting it again in order for the compressor to kicks in again.
