  • Laguna 95 RT Climate Control 'Service' 18 Dec 2004 (Forum)
    Approximately 30 seconds after turning the ignition on, my climate control displays 'service'. The air conditioning does't work, nor do the fans. Thinking it was due an air con service, I contacted a Renault dealer and explained the fault. The dealer suggested that it probably wasn't an air con service but something else.
  • Aircon Servicing(?), Gatwick area. 5 Apr 2005 (Forum)
    Anyone able to recommend a place to get air-conditioning serviced in the Gatwick area? A 1999 Ford Galaxy has a problem with vibration. Possibly the air-con clutch.
  • A few answers please? 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    I'm considering buying a R reg 306 and I have a few queries. The first one is regarging air con, I had built my hopes up about getting air conditioning in my new car! The one I am looking at doesn't have it, for those of you of that have air conditioning do you believe it makes a huge difference?
  • Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 02 1.9 Air Conditioning Problems After Re-Gas 22 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    The boing noise is still occurring every 20 or so seconds with the accompanying drop and rise in revs, and the air is now no cooler than it was before I took it to the garage. I also noticed there are no condensation drips from underneath the car. It makes no difference if the air con is on auto or manual, and the 'boing' noise stops when the air con is turned off.
  • cold air filters - mk3 golf 5 Jul 2006 (Forum)

  • Damp Passenger Footwell 12 Jul 2003 (Forum)
    Could this be internal condensation from the cold pipes in the air con? or is it a leaking pipe from the overflow, or do all cars suffer from damp footwells with aircon?
  • Trading Standards Help Needed for Omega 1 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    When the garage looked at my belt problem today they first checked all the pulleys and noticed the air con one was loose. On closer inspection the top bolt was missing and the bottom right bolt had snapped off. When a new fanbelt was fitted it came straight off due to a unstable air con unit. I was informed the engine would need to come out and the bolt would have to be drilled thru or we can just ignore air con and put a normal fan belt on and have no air con.
  • Dodgy garage, what to do next .... ? 1 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    However, I have increasingly become of the opinion that the garage is either: 1. not doing jobs correctly, or 2. not doing them at all I had my air-con re-gassed in June. Straight afterwards, I noticed a low 'thump' on engaging the air-con after about 10 seconds. I telephoned an air-con specialist, who advised me that the unit had been over-pressured.

  • BMW 323i Air con broken down 2000 reg 24 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    Hi all, As the subject says the air con on my 2000 reg BMW 323i has broken down. There's roughly 100k miles on the clock. A local garage recharged it about a month ago, giving me the impression that this would solve the problem. However, while this fixed it for three weeks or so there is now no cold air coming out at all, which I assume means that it is leaking.

  • Renault Re-gassing air conditioning 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Is it worthwhile re-gassing my air conditioning with a recharge canister from Halfords? The car is a year 2000 model which I have just bought. I doubt that the air-con has been serviced in recent years. Do I need to spend out on a specialist service or do those canisters work?
  • Air-con question - T Reg Peugeot 406 24 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    But we'll leave that for now... The Air-con was lovely and cold when I picked the car up, I've been using the car (and thus the air-con) 2 or 3 times a week since, and over the last week or so have noticed it's not been managing to get as cold as it was when I picked it up, to the point this weekend where it wasn't changing the temperature of the air at all.
  • Volkswagen Passat (1988 - 1997) - 95 1.8 self-fit air conditioning 24 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    Has anyone seen an aftermarket air con system that can be installed yourself? I'm imagining something you plug into the cigar lighter and then connect some hoses through the window. Thanks for any suggestions.
