    Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the Air Con system on a 98 Primera (96 - 99 model) which they could email me ? I have the factory manual for the P11 - 144 model (1999 - 2002), but this is of no use as it shows a fully automatic climate control, where mine is the basic manual system
  • Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - 2005 2.2 SRi - Air con failure 22 Sep 2008 (Forum)
    2005 Vectra 2.2 sri. My air con was working perfectly, then just stopped. The light comes on on the dash when selected and the fan is working but the air temp does not go cold. A friend in a Ford garage carried out a gas check and said there was no leak on the system (his machine checks for leaks then recharges the gas) he repressurised the system but the air con is still not working.

  • Honda Civic UK (2001 - 2005) - 2001 SE - Air Con not working - Extended Warranty? 15 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    Hi, I have a 2001 '51' Civic Sport SE and the air con has stopped working. I've owned the car for 4 months and had it re-gassed when I bought it as the air con wasn't blowing very cold. It worked for a while but gradually stopped. The garage that re-gassed it for me put some dye in the air con system to see if there was a leak somewhere.
