1.8 Zetec problem 24 Apr 2003 (Forum)
jerk, almost as if the engine loses power for a split second. The air con seems to cause the engine problems too, it idles at around 400rpm with air con switched on and the throttle is very slow to respond when I take my foot off it, then it jerks as the revs drop right off. It's a common engine, so -

BMW Air Conditioning 1 May 2003 (Forum)
I have recently been quoted £750 to repair the air con on my BMW 523 se auto. The refrigerant gas has leaked out from the expansion valve which is aparently situted behind the dashboard. This seems rather expensive !! Has anyone any experience of this and does it seem reasonable or should I get -
2001 Audi A4 Dual Climate Air Con Module 27 Jun 2005 (Forum)
Hi All This heat wave we've been having in Blighty is lovely. The trouble is it can get a bit hot, so it's nice to know that you can switch on your air conditioning and drive in comfort. Well that's what I would have done if mine worked. My car has been seen by an independant a couple of times -

Sooo,,, My brother bought a Mazda 6 from a used car dealer that works from home, I bought it on 27/3/08. In the past month or so, the air conditioning has stopped working, I call the trader up as it states "used car warranty" on the invoice (but it seems to say £0.00 for the cost of it) He tells -

Primera\'s Air Con 24 Aug 2003 (Forum)
the bulkhead The water is clear and is not coolant, and I therefore assume it to be condensate from the air condtioning. I am right in assuming that this is an overfill from the ventilation plenum chamber, and it is dripping because the main drain is blocked ??? I have removed the ventilation fan and pollen -
Peugeot 406 - air conditioning use 9 Feb 2015 (Forum)
You recently commented on a question regarding servicing where you mentioned continuous use of air conditioning being better to keep it going. I had a 406 bought new in 2000 and i sold it late last year, I switched the air con on the day I took delivery and never adjusted it or turned -
Ford Fiesta " T " Reg with air con - Fluid Leak from Air Vent in Footwell 25 Nov 2014 (Forum)
not corrected the problem. I have been told that the HEATER MATRIX requires replacing, which in all honesty I tend to believe to be the problem, this been the source of the water intruding into the footwells. My vehicle is fitted with air conditioning, so I understand that I am not able to replace -

Volkswagen Passat (1988 - 1997) - Aftermarket aircon air conditioning [read only] 24 Jul 2009 (Forum)
Has anyone seen an aftermarket air con system that can be installed yourself? I'm imagining something you plug into the cigar lighter and then connect some hoses through the window. Thanks for any suggestions. There is a thread in technical by the same poster so this is locked. Replies -
SAAB 9-3 Convertible - Air heater Fan and air conditioning not working 30 Jan 2014 (Forum)
! I purchased the car in June 2013 and ever since I purchased the car there has been a clicking noise that came on for 5-10 seconds after I switched off the air con or heating fan. I'm not that bothered about the clicking noise but I am bothered about no air coming out -
Nissan Juke 2015 - Heads up for Nissan Juke owners 2 Oct 2017 (Forum)
Bit of a heads up to others regarding air con pipe routing that may affect some Nissan Jukes, 2015 onwards. My Juke was 22 months old when I noticed aircon not working efficiently, so being mechanically adept, had a cursory look and discovered two air con pipes - close to the screenwash -
Air conditioning option - car not used regularly. 5 Nov 2007 (Forum)
whatever I do. So is air con worth 1000 pounds? Usage. I know you need to exercise air con to keep the seals in good order, but with my pattern of usage, and the fact that in spring or autumn the ambient temperature does not need modifying, am I likely to have problems? Or is it one of those things -

The speed setting number 2 has just stopped working on the air blower. Speed settings 1,3 & 4 still work as normal for both hot or cold air. Also the Air-con still works as normal. Any idea's if this would be an easy fix or would this be a job for the garage? Thanks for any suggestions. -
Citroen Berlingo Multispace (1998 - 2010) - 2003, 2.0Hdi - Air conditioning smells 7 Nov 2007 (Forum)
Hi Can anyone recommend someone in the Reading area to take a look at the air con in my car. I think it needs a service and general sorting out as it's smelly. The car is 4 years old and I don't think the dealer ever looked at it during services. The pollen filter was replaced last september -
air conditioning 14 Jul 2003 (Forum)
How does the air con work exactly ? I am puzzled as when I put mine on (on a 5 yr-old Daewoo) there's a metallic/buzzing noise for a few seconds, then it seems to get cold but I am pretty sure that it gets less cold than before. Can a system slowly stop working ? (I thought it stopped altogether -
C5 2.2 HDI uneven tickover 29 Oct 2005 (Forum)
Whils I was at the dealer regarding the air con condensation, I asked about the cause of the slightly uneven tickover, which occurs sometimes (mainly when starting from cold). It tends to run in little surges, basically, and is more noticeable when the air con is on. It was suggested
