  • Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2003 2.0 Air con and radiator fan on contiuously 11 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    Recently my air con and radiator fan started running continuously when the engine was running. This is a June 2003 TDCi. Air con switch did nothing. Heater controls are the 3 round dials (pre-climate control) Fault was found to be the heater control panel which has all sorts of electronics

  • Ford Fiesta zetec climate - Fiesta air con leak 22 Sep 2014 (Forum)
    Hi, I had the car re gassed a couple of months ago and has stopped working again so there must be a slight leak. Can hear the compressor clicking a lot which I beleive indicates low gas pressure. Before I go to an air con specialist is anybody aware of any common problems or likely places

  • Mercedes 420SEL W126 - R12 air con regas 29 May 2010 (Forum)
    Is there a cost effective work around to regas a R12 system now that this substance appears to be outlawed? I have varying responses from garages, air con specialists and the net. The answers seem to depend more on what product they offer than my best interests. Answers vary from new seals
  • Honda CR-V II (2002 - 2006) - 03 2.0 Air Con Pump Failed 6 Aug 2009 (Forum)
    Our once trusty CRV is getting some annoying faults these days. At 65K the Air Con Pump has disintegrated and of course needs replacing. A new one is £1,100 ho, ho, ho and recoonditioned £500 + fitting. I guess plan C. would be a breakers yard. I would welcome ideas on how and where I can
  • Mondeo Air con Condensers 9 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    The condenser for the air con on my 200X mondeo (last of the old shape) is being replaced as according to my local Ford dealer it is leaking. I had the aircon regassed a month or so ago, but its effectivness went downhill soon after. This is an expensive job (£450), is this a common problem
  • Citroen C3 1.4HDi 2002 - Air Con failed 10 May 2010 (Forum)
    During the week I had the air con recharged for Mrs C at Kwik Fit Northallerton. The print out reported taking 150g refrigerant out and putting 600g back in with no leaks detected. The manager said that the temperature drop on testing was satisfactory. The air seemed cold on the way back
  • Focus Air-Con Stopped Working 21 Mar 2005 (Forum)
    My 1999T Focus's air-conditioning has stopped working. Just before the winter it was still capable of freezing my fingers off, but it now seems to have no cooling effect at all. Throughout the winter I have switched on the air-con once a week for about 10 minutes (as seems to be recommended
  • Audi A4 Air Con - stuck on economy 13 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    My 2002 Audi A4 air conditioning is stuck on the economy setting and as such it will not cool as well at it used to. I have had it recharged and this made some differenbce to its cooling ability, but is still not as good as it should be. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance Dave
  • Trust an expert? 16 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    Going round a roundabout we heard a very loud clunk underneath, but assumed it was road debris and thought nothing more. Shortly afterwards the air-con stopped working but we didn't make the connection at the time. Assuming the air-con needed re-gassing I phoned the nearest air-con specialist

  • Citroen C3 (2002 - 2009) - 2005 HDi Air con not working 5 Apr 2009 (Forum)
    We have a 2005 HDi which we have owned from new, mileage now 32,000, and the air con has been used most of the time. Today it was really hot so I turned the temp dial to cold but it didn't seem to be working. The light above the switch comes on but it just blows out normal temp air. When we got
  • Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 2000 2.0Dti - Air Con Problem 28 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    The air-con on my zaffy isn't working. I had it recharged sometime ago and when I switched it on, it was brilliant, really cold. I think there was a leak as when I can to use it again the following day, there was no cold air and I believe the coolant escaped. The compressor doesn't 'kick in' when

    Hi there, Audi a1 issue for 3 months now, full service been done, fuel filter replaced and fuel cap replaced. Air con sensor replaced, car checker over 5 times for any leaks, nothing showing on computer. Any ideas what could be causing this, fuel smell only comes through when stationary or low
  • Ford Mondeo Estate - Ford Mondeo Air Con - sensitivity 25 Jun 2018 (Forum)
    The air con in my 2015 Mondeo Estate seems to be over sensitive to temperature changes and effectively seems to try to keep the temperature exactly as set, blowing hot and cold alternately.  This almost continuous operation is frustrating and unnecessary and probably doesn't help fuel
