• Espace air-con. 12 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  I look after a '96 Espace with air-con. Yesterday met the owner in a social situation who said it had just failed, blowing warm air she said. When asked if it would cost more than £30 to fix (sort of) I replied with the potential for huge bills on this. I'll just leave it broken was the reply

• South Americans trash air-con 20 Jun 2002 (Forum)
  Yes, it's true, in a bid to distract footy fans from supporting our chaps by turning our cars into saunas, Brazilian extremists have apparently sabotaged the air-con on my 1992 Citroen BX. The car last had working air-con last autumn; since then it has been laid up. I say working, but it used

  I have a Ford Galaxy, 2000 V reg, 2.3 zetec. I recently had a breakdown recovery van take my car to its garages due to a problem with the Compressor. This was replaced and the air con was re-charged. Since then I have heard a hissing (similar to an aerosol) sound from the passenger

• BMW 320d air con - diesel smell 31 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Have recently had my 51 reg, 30k 320d touring checked over due to regular leaks on my drive. The leaks leave a stain hence I dont think they are water. The garage checked the car and say this is simply the air con discharge and is normal - but our air con (climate control system) still pumps
• ford galaxy Air Con 7 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Please help. I have had the AA out to my galaxy 1997 2.0glx, they told me the air compressor has seized up which is why my belt snapped and told me it was a costly job. However if I wanted I could get a belt that did not drive the air con, but would have to do without air con, loooking at how much

• Suzuki - Climate control vs Air con 28 Dec 2007 (Forum)
  Is climate control just the same as Air con? I am asking because the Vitara has climate control with a dial that reads: 18c -23c -28c, I would like to know how 18c on climate control can ever be classed as "cold"? I thought that air con had to be roundabout 8c. I am confused.

• Mondeo air con - cutting out 9 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Noticed yesterday that the air con on our mk2 Mondeo is cutting in and out when in use. The green "AC" light on the blower switch remains on, but I can hear (and feel) the compressor clutch engaging and disengaging. The time between cutting in and out seems to vary, but I would say on average
