So what's the difference between aircon /econ or is it because the aircon has climate control and econ is just on and off??

Re: Aircon/econ
I had this on my old A6 and it puzzled me also. If I remember rightly, I read in my manual that ECON stands for economy.....ie ECON on = AC off and visa versa.
I’m open to correction on this though.

Re: Aircon/econ
As I understand it:
"Aircon" setting will let the aircon compressor run permanently when switch on.
"Econ" is economy mode and when you come to a stop (stop sign, stop light, stop and go traffic) it will switch the aircon compressor off. So there will be a fluctuation in air temperature coming out the vents because it will be switching on and off the whole time.

Re: Aircon/econ
Ok so my next question is it easy to convert it to climate control ? I'm asking this because I can only seem to find econ systems to fit go my caddy but would like to run climate control?
