Can anyone shed light:
The original thermostat on by 2003 Bav 41 was wound around the the evaporator. I was told by techs at Weaco that this to prevent icing up of the evaporator and that the thermostat operates around minus 9 degrees or so.
I am replacing my thermostat with an electronic type - external with digital display ($12 Aus from EBay! including freight from HK).
The question is:
Should the sensor be zip tied to the evaporator and set at minus 9 (or so)
OR
Should it be set at say +4 degrees and mounted outside the evaporator housing.
I have had iproblems of the evaporator coils icing up which does cause needless waste of battery power.
Would appreciate comment and advice.
