Ford focus 1.8 tdci 03 plate - Help air con - v12ock
I have a focus with ac issue. The air con doesn't work although light displays on panel. Gas is full to max as filled it. Something I have noticed is the cooling fan is on even on cold start. A colleague looked at it and said the acon pressure sensor could cause this, anyone agree? He said if cooling fan stays on and Acon gives poor reading on pressure may not allude ac to operate

Any help would be great

Did you charge the system yourself using the stuff you buy from Halfords or was it done properly on a machine which adds the correct amount of refrigerant?

On this Focus model,when the a/c is switched on,the sytstem will automatically bring on the cooling fan/s.A few seconds later,once the engine has stabilised,the a/c compressor is engaged.I doubt if the pressure switch is at fault as the fans would not operate in this cycle .Take it to an a/c specialist.
