But I now want to fit air-con onto it. Some advice - I

• Ford Focus Air Con 13 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Hi all, I may be buying a '99 Ford Focus and need your advice on the air con. When you put it on full belt (setting 4) it isn't really that powerful - there is definitely something coming out but when you switch it to the recirculated air feature it becomes a lot more powerful. My question
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 99 1.8 Air conditioning not working 30 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  Hi folks, The air conditioning has stopped working on my Mk1 Focus Zetec. It's coming up for 80k miles and as far as I know, the air con system has never been touched or 'regassed'. Could it be something as simple as a blown fuse or relay ? There is one air con relay and two fuses

• Air-con lifespan? 19 Sep 2002 (Forum)

• Citroen Xsara (1997 - 2004) - 2000 1.4 air con probs 3 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  the air con is not good enough- press the air con button and the compressor engages and the fans start up, the temp only goes down to around 10-13 Celsius. Or around 9ish with the recirc button on. So i thought there either a leak or low on gas- pooped of to kwik-fit for regass, they let
