05 1.6 AirCon Problem - 1jim
Hi
Just had my picasso serviced (3yr service) and had aircon serviced for the 1st time at same time, since then the aircon fan is cutting in and out non stop- seems to do it every 30seconds or so, also aircon does not seem quite as good as before the service. Called the garage today who said that when they drained it there was so little gas in there that the aircon wouldnt have been working well at the time (it seemed to be working ok to me) and that the fan is now cutting in and out because it has been refilled? does this seem right or do I need to take it somewhere else? Any thoughts would be most welcome
thanks

When you say air-con fan do you mean the cooling fan at the front of the car?It will cut in and out as required when a/c is on but if the efficiency of the system is poor then it is possible that the system has been overfilled with refrigerant gas.hth
