  Hi, I've got a '98 Scenic 1.9dTi with air-con. The heater fan only seems to have one speed, like it's stuck on full blast. All six settings are the same speed. Off works fine! Any idea what could cause this? Thanks!
• Xantia air-con/heater 1 Feb 2002 (Forum)
  My 4+ year old 2.1TD has covered 25,000 miles, and is usually driven with the air-con "on" and the temperature set at 22 degrees. After about 10 miles of driving, the warm air flow turns cold and stays cold, unless the lever is moved to the "red". My Citroen dealer has looked at it twice and can

• Air con repair 6 May 2002 (Forum)
  My Volvo 850 has an air con problem. There is a leak somewhere. Independant servicing garage says its a compressor leak. Main dealer says most likely evaporator leak. Neither could say for sure because the system has to be gassed up first which they say costs over £100. Either way its very

• Peugeot 406 Hdi - Click-on air-con pipes 13 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  My 406 has developed an air-con leak in the pipe between the low pressure valve and compressor. Haynes refer to the pipe as "click on" presumably at the valve end and at the compressor end the connection is referred to as  H/PAD. How easy is it to remove this pipe and replace? Are any

• Nissan Almera Tino - is it okay to drive with air con compressor broke? 21 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  Hi, Took my car into Nissan today to diagnose two problems. One was the ignition coil which I'm replacing myself. The other is the air con. They said it is definitely the compressor. I can get them on ebay for 40 quid. Car is 13 years old but I like it. I am thinking to perhaps wait to see
• Air-Con on Beetle 1.6... 28 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I bought a New Beetle 1.6 two years ago; since I had already bumped its' price up somewhat with Alloys and Metallic Paint, I decided not to add Air-Con (although, to be fair, with that lot on, the price went up to the same as the 2.0 Beetle!). But I now want to fit air-con onto it. Some advice - I

  Hi all, I may be buying a '99 Ford Focus and need your advice on the air con. When you put it on full belt (setting 4) it isn't really that powerful - there is definitely something coming out but when you switch it to the recirculated air feature it becomes a lot more powerful. My question

  Hi folks, The air conditioning has stopped working on my Mk1 Focus Zetec. It's coming up for 80k miles and as far as I know, the air con system has never been touched or 'regassed'. Could it be something as simple as a blown fuse or relay ? There is one air con relay and two fuses

• Air-con pollen filter questions. 11 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Couple of questions for you to ponder.. Does a car pollen filter still work when my air-con is set to recycle? or does it work better when the recycle switch is set to off? Basically what I want is the best setting as I suffer badly from hayfever this time of year and want the best setting I can
