  • 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

  • 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.

    The air blower on my Ford Escort 1.8 Ghia X has developed a malfunction. After about 5 minutes no air comes out despite the blower making all the right noises. This occurs with air-con on or off and hot or cold. I do not have a pollen filter. Any ideas?

  • Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 04 2.0 Air con recharge 22 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    I have a 2004 Mondeo Diesel and I have bought a can of air con gas to re-charge it but where do I connect it? The line I can see near the washer bottle has the correct shape connector on to that on the air con bottle but it is bigger so won't fit. Is there a second connector somewhere?
  • Air Con in general 20 Apr 2003 (Forum)
    The ventilation on my Mondeo stinks. When the air con is running it is fine but when you switch it off the car smells musty and like sweaty socks. I've read in various places that dealers can spray some freshener down the vents to kill the bacteria but can you buy this spray at Halfords etc
