  Hi,  Our Citroen Xsara Picasso, has started making a funny whiring noise when the aircon is switched on. Its like a leaf has got into the fan and is spining round and round. If I have the heater fan on number 1 and switch on the Air Con the noise starts and changes pitch
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 03 1.8 Air-con partly works but .... 30 May 2009 (Forum)
  My 2003 1.8LX has an air-con problem. The A/C light only comes on (and the A/C works) with the Fan switch set to position 1. When the fan is set to 2,3 or 4 the light goes out (and the A/C stops working). The A/C light comes back on again when the fan is reduced to 1 again. That's a solid set

• Citroen Picasso C4 2015 1.6HDi - Type of air-con fluid in my '15 C4 Picasso? 8 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Hi My air con has stopped working. When I turn it on, I hear a light 'sizzling' sound from behind the dash, and no cool air. It has never had a gas top-up, so I'm hoping that's all that's needed on my 7-year old car. If it's R134a - as in my older C3 - then I can DIY the top-up

  My son had the air con regassed back in September and it's now stopped, or nearly stopped working again. With the aid of a UV light I can seen there is leak around where one of the pipes joins the condenser. Two questions. Is this a common failure on this car? Is it likely to be just

  When I found the air con not operating, I found the drive belt from the crankshaft to the compressor had come off. Is there an adjustment for the compressor to alter the tension of the drive belt? I cannot figure out how the belt came off the pulleys, as it was too 'tight' to slip over them
