My Focus has done 80000 of trouble free miles until now.
Air conditioning works well but when sitting in traffic with the engine idling the RPM sometimes starts to hunt up and down accompanied by a lot of clicking from the compressor clutch. Sometimes the engine stops. This can also happen when slowing down to enter a driveway etc. This can be disconcerting as then power steering is lost.
The garages cleaned the system and replaced the gas but the problem persists. As it is only an intermittant problem I have not been able to demonstrate what happens (Sods law!).
Any idea what the problem could be and how to fix it?
