Skoda Superb - water ingress 11 Feb 2015 (Forum)
condensation and icing inside the car recently) I have checked the drainage holes in door panels adjacent to the footwell and they seem to be clear. There is a floor mounted vent under the seat, presumably part of the heating/air con system, but looking under the car it all seems to be quite well sealed -
New old car or old new one? 15 Jan 2013 (Forum)
in December 2013, or wait a month and buy the new, new 2014 version? I assume the 2007 version would have all the goodies at the basic model's prices, as against the new one which would no doubt have seats as an extra on the L or LX. A ghia might get you air con. Would the 2007 -

Poly-vee belts 15 Oct 2009 (Forum)
drives the water pump, alternator and steering/suspension pump (no air-con) through a tortuous run with the help of a couple of idler pulleys, one being a spring-loaded tensioner. I assume that the 'tortuous run' is necessary to get a good wrap-round of the belt on the pulleys on this fast-accelerating -

Volvo S60 (2000 - 2009) - 01 2.0 Heater blower running after car locked. 13 Jun 2009 (Forum)
unresponsive to the control on the dash (manual air con, not climate). Switched on the ignition, and the fan suddenly came back under control of the dash control. Switched off the ignition and the fan quit as normal. I'm guessing it's some kind of Canbus strop, but any ideas if this is a sign of impending -
Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 1996 1.25 Sqeaky auxiliary drive belt 2 Feb 2009 (Forum)
can't rule these out completely. It doesn't have air con or power steering. I wonder if it's the alternator bearing but with the belt off, the bearing seems fine and it's quite an expensive part to replace if not the source of the problem. I've changed the belt itself which cured the problem -
Renault Espace (1997 - 2002) - 98 3.0 Do I need to replace water pump 19 Oct 2008 (Forum)
to the pump and the noise disappeared for a minute or two. Therefore is it just the belt that needs adjusting or replacing and not the water pump which I have been quoted £700 to replace. If so, is this a big job to do? The car doesn't overheat, the heating and air con work and all the hoses get hot -

I've seen a fair few of these for sale of late, all old shape 2.6 V6 SRi auto 5dr hatches, factory lowered with xenons but lacking in air con, with around 90k on the clock. Most are on Y plates in white but I have seen two 02 plates in white and silver too. My question is this - should I touch -
BMW 320d fuel/oil leak 27 Jul 2006 (Forum)
My recently purchased 51 plate 320d touring (30k with full BMWSH) has been dropping small quantities of what I believe is either diesel or oil on my drive. There is also a strong smell of diesel coming through air con when sitting at junction etc. Are these 2 issues likely to be linked? I saw -

Volvo Climate Control 3 Aug 2004 (Forum)
The climate control on my S80 has just started acting funny. Last week I spotted a larger than usual puddle of condensate under the car, after it had been parked for a while. Yesterday, on a long run, the air-con remained cold, but the force of the breeze from the vents got less and less, even -

Welding experts?? 10 May 2003 (Forum)
Very stupidly I pierced a tiny hole in SWMBO's Honda air con condenser by leaving a spark plug tool lying around. The local aircon specialists reluctantly agreed to get someone to have a go at resealing with a weld since the cost of replacement (if they can find a condenser)is probably as much
