  • Faulty interior fan - nissan micra 25 Aug 2004 (Forum)
    I have a problem with my S reg micra, if I turn the interior fan to speed (4) it works fine but the lower speeds will not work. I have air con and if I turn the switch to (1) or any of the lower speeds the air con light will illuminate and I can hear the pump kick in but no fan movement. I assume
  • Air Conditioning 2 May 2002 (Forum)
    The a/con in my ten year old imported vehicle, has, I believe CFC type gas and I understand that it is mandatory to have the new type of gas if the a/c system requires service. Is there also a requirement to have the high and low pressure fill/test couplings changed from a screw type to a push
  • Air Con Question 2 - Vaux Vectra 31 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    Dear all, The aircon expired on my two year old Vectra over the weekend. There was a hissing noise seemingly from behind the dash for a while, then nothing, and warm air of course. The question is, would the leaking refrigerant leave a discharge ? I can\'t see an obviously burst pipe
  • Ford Fiesta 1242cc 16v 2000 X - Air con compressor not engaging 16 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    I have two Ford Fiestas, both 1242cc 16v and year 2000 and have owned both since they were 3-4 years old.  I have been very pleased that by giving the aircon a blast at least once a month right through the year, both still had effective air con despite never being re-gassed
  • Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Air-con repair not covered by warranty? 18 Apr 2011 (Forum)
    Can anybody help? Recently my two and a half year old Vectra's air-con packed up. It is completely standard 07 plate SRI cdti 150 with @ 32,000 miles. I 'phoned the local Vauxhall garage & booked the car in to be looked at under warranty. They told me that the compressor condenser needed
  • Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.0 Air Con can it be bypassed ? 27 Aug 2010 (Forum)
    2.0 D4D model. Does anyone know, if the air con can be bypassed ? My aircon compressor is "rattling" on idle, but if I turn on the aircon the "rattling" stops. My mechanic tells me that its something to do with the pulley/ flanges on the aircon unit and the clutch mechanism then cuts out
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001 1.8 TD Air con not working 4 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    is on? Light is on on dash but no click / clunk to say compressor is on like it used to do. Ford also refilled it Feb 2008 and added oil to air con system?
  • Air Con [again] 3 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    Remember my confusion about why external air actually felt colder than recycled air ? Well part of my confusion was cleared up the other day, and it was as smeone suggested. The temperature of the 'input' air isn't usually the critical thing, so the temperature it takes it down to is not affected

  • mercades sprinter - Anti-freeze change- DEF button? 22 Sep 2014 (Forum)
    Hello! I wish to renew the anti-freeze in my 2001 sprinter before winter. The manual says: if it has an automatic climatisation system fitted......' (presume this means air-con) press the DEF button. As my vehicle does have air-con i presume it would have a DEF button, but cant find anyone who

  • VW Golf Estate Climate control 5 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    My brother in law's 2002 Golf's climate control stopped working last night. With climate control on, both cooling fans in the engine compartment do not come on. Air-con technician checked and said air-con system does not need regassing. All fuses are okay. We have tried to access the climate
  • Peugeot 306 - flashing STOP 1 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    I had a \'diagnostic flash\' on my 306 recently. After a gentle front-end shunt on a roundabout which did little more than crack the no-plate, the STOP light on the dash flashed if the air-con was running. The air-con seemed to work OK, but after proper investigation I found that the bump had
  • Ford Focus Estate 59 - Faulty Air Conditioning - blowing warm one side 26 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    during the last two years ( the issue occured whilst still under warranty) and have replaced pretty much the entire air con system, compressor, vents, control panel etc.  They now seem stumped as to what could be causing it.  As the air con does work at certain times we think the actual system
  • Fresh Air 1 Feb 2012 (Forum)
    In the good old days (1980s) I used to drive Vauxhalls and the centre face vent was connected to the outside air. I could have toasty warm feet, demisted windscreen and cold air to breathe and keep me awake. Climate control, air con etc are all wonderful and I would not be without them

  • Air con condensation - Citroen C5 21 Sep 2005 (Forum)
    Where would one normally expect the condensation from air conditioning to drain to? Is it normal to have it draining from different parts of the floor pan? This is currently happening with our C5 and I have never seen any sign of it draining from there before in over 2 years. It is even draining
