• air-con on 1yr old Corolla 22 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  I have to say though, despite being re-gassed it doesnt seem much colder, and now there is a musty smell that wasnt there before it was done! The manual recommends using the air intake on fresh and using face air jets, which I do, but i need the keep the temperature dial on coldest setting to get enough cold air out. Am I expecting too much of air-con (or the Corolla's air con) or should I be able to get my car feeling like a fridge??

• 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 if it gets through the MOT in November and if all okay then sort the air con, well get a professional I know to.
• Renault Clio - aircon intermittent 12 May 2024 (Forum)
  Now we have this hot weather, The air con is luke warm/cold , But not ice cold , But then it will run cold for a matter of a minute and then back to luke warm.   I am going to take advantage of a free air con check at Protyers next week and i have just spoke with the service manager who explained that my car should be OK or they would not have been able to Re gas in December, So i thought that i would ask your thoughts before i go and take it for a Air con Check .
• 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 reckon that, although I'm sure I won't get my money back on the install come sale time, would I be right in thinking that, in 3 years time, selling a non-aircon car for premium money is going to be hard ?
• Ford Focus Air Con 13 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  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.
