• 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

  The Air Con has stopped working working. I had system recharged a week ago, 3 days later it stopped working. I assume there is a leak somewhere. The system was completely completely empty and needed complete refill. As soon as it was recharged it worked ok, man

• Air con and MPG 2 Jul 2002 (Forum)
  Does using the air con/climate control make a lot of difference to the MPG in a modern car? Also, should a brand new car be 'run-in' for say 1000 miles before trying to accurately assess the MPG? Thanks.
• Ford - Air Con CON 11 May 2013 (Forum)
  Just took one of our cars into the Ford Garage yesterday, A 2008 Mondeo Estate  as the Air Con was not very effective, and they diagnosed a "punctured condensor" (probably caused by a flying stone ) requiring a new one at £480.00 fitted I declined this as it seemed
• Air con recharged but still not working 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Car: Daewoo Leganza S reg The air con on our car stopped working about two years ago and we have never bothered to get it fixed, but its so hot now, we decided to have a look round about fixing it. We have brought a R134a canister and tested the pressure, which was low. We have topped
• air con 13 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  This might sound like a silly question but in terms of using air con economically as well as looking after the system, is it better to keep it on all the time when needed in hot weather? Does switching it off then back on again every so often on a journey to keep fuel consumption down do it any
• air/con new theory 14 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  just read a note on a usa web site that was discussing the pros and cons of leaving the air con on all the time. There was general agreement that the system should be left on all the time or used regularly to keep the seals in good condition and prevent premature failure. Until one "veteran

  The air con compressor on my 1996 Xantia 1.9td does not run when I press the switch. Is there a relay associated with it that can be replaced? Are there any servicable parts on the compressor that can be tested or replaced. Thanks

  My 3 year old Shogun 3.2 DiD has developed a musty smell from the heating/air con. How do I cure this? and can you prevent it? I leave the climate on auto, is this best? Thanks in advance.
• Air-con not working 31 Mar 2012 (Forum)
  The car is an 05 Focus TDCi, and the air-con is no longer blowing cold air. I've just noticed it because of a couple of warm days this week. It was working last summer, and seemed to be helping with the demisting during the winter. It's been run for at least 15 minutes every

• Air con settings ... which is best for CO2 etc. 22 May 2008 (Forum)
  Am I right in assuming that having your air con set on 'recirc', you are only cooling the (already cool) air circulating in the passenger compartment. Whereas if it is set on 'fresh air' (outside air) you are having to cool the hot (summer) air coming in from outside. Have I got this completely

  Evening, new to the threads. I bought a 2000 306 last month and today a strange crackling noise started coming from the air con vent at the passenger's side corner. It's only noticeable when the car is moving, from about 10 mph or so. If I put the air con on when the car

  As mentioned in one of my previous posts, i have a Rover 214 Sei. This model comes with air con as standard (not climate control). Iv'e never had air con before. When the heat dial is set to hot, should the air con blow hot or not? Thanks for any thoughts on this.
• Air Con - Another Question 7 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  Thank you for all the replies to my previous question. A final thought, if you need to run your air con all the time to keep it working properly and avoid expensive repairs, why do manufactures provide you with the facility to switch it off?
