  Hi I have a 6-yr old Volvo S40 with air-con. This does seem to work fine but does it need to be regassed or recharged at a set interval? Thanks Chris
• South Americans trash air-con 20 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  Yes, it's true, in a bid to distract footy fans from supporting our chaps by turning our cars into saunas, Brazilian extremists have apparently sabotaged the air-con on my 1992 Citroen BX. The car last had working air-con last autumn; since then it has been laid up. I say working, but it used
• Ford Galaxy - Air con recharge issue 13 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  I have a Ford Galaxy, 2000 V reg, 2.3 zetec. I recently had a breakdown recovery van take my car to its garages due to a problem with the Compressor. This was replaced and the air con was re-charged. Since then I have heard a hissing (similar to an aerosol) sound from the passenger
• Astra air con problem 5 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  and the revs on the car drop slightly and every couple of minutes the air con fan goes on for a bit and then off again,but for some reason now the yellow light on the switch lights up as it should but you don't hear any pump start up and the revs don't drop and the air con fan doesn't come on at all

• BMW 320d air con - diesel smell 31 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Have recently had my 51 reg, 30k 320d touring checked over due to regular leaks on my drive. The leaks leave a stain hence I dont think they are water. The garage checked the car and say this is simply the air con discharge and is normal - but our air con (climate control system) still pumps
• ford galaxy Air Con 7 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Please help. I have had the AA out to my galaxy 1997 2.0glx, they told me the air compressor has seized up which is why my belt snapped and told me it was a costly job. However if I wanted I could get a belt that did not drive the air con, but would have to do without air con, loooking at how much
• Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - Air Con Recharge 17 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Hi Looks like the Air Con unit could do with a Recharge It's working but not what i'd call Ice Cold. As their seems to be no prospect of a Summer at least in Glasgow. I was wondering if it would be cheaper to leave it till the Winter and see if any place were doing a special on Air Con Recharging

• Suzuki - Climate control vs Air con 28 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Is climate control just the same as Air con? I am asking because the Vitara has climate control with a dial that reads: 18c -23c -28c, I would like to know how 18c on climate control can ever be classed as "cold"? I thought that air con had to be roundabout 8c. I am confused.

• Mondeo air con 6 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  2001 1.8 LX. Is it normal for the air con to drip constantly when on? I havent noticed it before but today I filled up with petrol and noticed quite a large puddle under the car, just rear of the bulkhead. Anyway....I called out the breakdown people and they looked at it and said it was "normal
• Mondeo air con - cutting out 9 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Noticed yesterday that the air con on our mk2 Mondeo is cutting in and out when in use. The green "AC" light on the blower switch remains on, but I can hear (and feel) the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging. The time between cutting in and out seems to vary, but I would say on average

• Focus 1.6 Zetec - Air Con 13 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I recently had my air con regassed at Kwik Fit,  as it was running cool - not freezing cold as I am used to. It has only been three months and the air con is again running cool and takes ages to 'cool'  the car.  I have checked frequently for leaks and found none.  Any

• Renault Scenic Air Con Problem 25 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  My five year old Scenic has just started leaking water into the front passenger well after a hot journey with the air con working at maximum capacity. The air con still seems to work very efficiently.If this is condensation dripping off the condenser unit, how is it getting into the passenger well
• Air Con and Demisting 5 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  The air con of our newly acquired Mondeo (2000 2.0 litre Zetec)didn't seem to be helping much with demisting today. Concerned I hadn't set it right I've just read the manual and it says 'the A/C system operates only when the outside temperature is over approx +4C' Anyone know why? I found the air
