• Audi A1 - Air con only works on highest setting 19 Jul 2021 (Forum)
  I noticed that the air con is only working on the highest number 4 setting when I got in my wife’s car this morning. 1,2 and 3 not working and no blowing at all. The red air con on light also goes out when it is switched from 4 to 3.
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 04 2.0 Air con recharge 22 Apr 2008 (Forum)
  I have a 2004 Mondeo Diesel and I have bought a can of air con gas to re-charge it but where do I connect it? The line I can see near the washer bottle has the correct shape connector on to that on the air con bottle but it is bigger so won't fit. Is there a second connector somewhere?
• Air Con in general 20 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I'm a bit annoyed as I've run the air con all year round to try and avoid this apparently common problem.
• Vauxhall Cavalier 1995 2.0 CDX - Air Con leak 11 Jul 2010 (Forum)

• Air con on Laguna 15 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Don't know if anyone can give me any advice, this is the first time I've posted on this site!! I have a Renault laguna 1.6 (2000 reg) and lately I've noticed the air con is not working properly. In the warm weather recently the chilled air comes through very weakly & intermittently, even with the fan on full blast, there is also an intermittent 'screaching' sound from the engine compartment when the air con is on.

• 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.

  Is an air conditioning service necessary? 22 Aug 2022 (Ask HJ)
  My Toyota dealer recommends that I have my air con serviced after only two years. They quote £150. Is this necessary?
• 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 rather expensive, paid them £ 60 for the diagnosis and took it today to a local Air Con specialist for a second opinion.
• Air con recharged but still not working 11 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  We have topped the pressure back up to where the guage says it the correct level. When you switch the air con on, the symbol shows on the display and we can hear a click noise coming from the front left of the car, the compressor ? so it sounds like this is working .. but still no air con Any ideas ??
• air con 13 Jul 2001 (Forum)
  (I have read previous threads about fuel costs and air con and know you don't all agree on this one - and I also know air con should be used at least once a month throughout the year to keep the condensor? compressor? (whatever) happy.) I would hazard a guess and say it's best to leave it on as the lesser of two evils but you know, just wondering.

  Faulty air con - should the dealer pay for the repairs? 16 Jul 2014 (Ask HJ)
  I own a 2007 SEAT Leon, which I have had since new. The car has covered 82,000 miles and has a full service history. The air con was working at 78,000...
• 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.
• Air Con - 1996 Xantia 1.9td 31 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  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.
• Focus - Air-con MPG ? 12 May 2006 (Forum)
  I have a Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi late 2002 and wonder if using the Air Con has any effect on MPG. Guys I've spoken to seem to have a mixed view. Anyone know the correct answer ?
• air con care 7 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  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.
• 2002 Picasso 2.0ltr HDI Exclusive - Picasso air con not turning off 21 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  My air con will not switch off.  As soon as the ignition turns on the aircon starts tyo blow out air.  even when the control unit says it is off the aircon keeps working. Can you help?
• 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.
