  • Passat Air Con stopped working 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
    Tonight driving home,all of a sudden I felt chilly., When I looked down to mess with the Air Con I couldn't see the buttons as the blue background light was inoperative.

  • renault espace iv 2.0t - fan belt slipping 13 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    After sitting in my Renault Espace with the air con on (for 20 mins) a warning light then came on saying "battery charge fault". I had the car checked and the battery is fine. However, while looking under the bonnet and turning the air con on, the fan belt seemed to slow and stop for a few

  • Golf IV 1.6 Air-Con noise 4 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    My Golf IV 1.6 air-con works ok, but in the last couple of days of high heat, switching it on has had 2 effects - a reasonable loss of power on the engine, coupled with a sort of 'knocking' sound. Gets louder as you rev the engine more. When I open the bonnet at idle, I can see the engine sort

    Car is P reg Calibra 2.5 at 81.000 miles. Does anyone know of any problems or faults with the air con system on this car, which would cause the unit to freeze up to a point where ice cristals come out of the vents into the car. Has anyone seen this before please ? Air con specialist and Vaux
  • Rover aircon 13 Apr 2003 (Forum)
    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?

  • Noisy Air Con Compressor 23 Feb 2002 (Forum)
    The air con compressor on my Astra 1.6 16V 1997 has developed a noise a bit like an old fridge. I have stopped using the A/C as a precaution. Does this mean big bills or just a regas?? Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Astra H 1.4 SXI - Noisy Air con 8 May 2011 (Forum)

    Hi, My dads Y Reg micra has just had its air con recharged and now the 4 speed fan control only runs on the fastest speed, with or without the air-con on? Could the garage that did the recharge have done something to upset the fan control?? They say its unrelated and his new problem is a job

  • Mondeo Air Con 1 Jul 2002 (Forum)
    the guy was reading the fault file on his ECU reading unit it showed that the air con wasn't actually coming on. Does anyone know of a good air con place in West Yorkshire or Manchester who will not do the sucking of teeth, shaking of head routine and say it needs a new one. Bill
