• air con query Dave.N - Seat Toledo 20 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  recently i took my SEAT TOLEDO 97 2.0 litre to an independent dealer to have the air con re-gassed, it was working but just not getting cold enough. I was quoted £70 for gas and system check which seemed fair enough. After a 2 hour wait a mobile air con guy turned up and re-gassed the system he then checked it over and told me that the condenser was leaking and offered me a replacement part for £317 although it was not an original SEAT part and told me that if i agreed straight away he could fit it next week.

  When I switch the air con on I can hear a fan runnng, can hear it a bit in the car but its a lot louder outside the car, its coming from the front of the engine near the front grill. I am assuming this is the fan in front of the radiator.

• Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 2000 2.0 Air con specialist in Hertfordshire 6 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I asked this question a good while back (but didn't follow it up) and am asking again in the hope that someone has had some recent relevant experience: Can anyone recommend a good air con specialist reasonably local to me? - I'm in Hemel Hempstead and am thinking Watford/St Albans maybe, but could travel further afield.
• replacing air con pipes.....306 hdi 6 Sep 2006 (Forum)

• Xantia air-con switches itself 12 Jun 2003 (Forum)
  My Xantia estate (Mk2) has air-con and it has started switching itself on without the dash switch depressed. The light on the dash switch comes on too. I assume it is either a faulty switch or faulty relay. Has anyone experienced this, and can anyone tell me which relay - I could then test to find out which is faulty (or could it be wiring ?).

  I own a Ford Focus 1.8 petrol which has air conditioning fitted. I bought the car when it was 5 years old and I have no evidence that the air con system has ever been serviced and so far in the time that I have had it, I have had nothing done to it.

• Astra 1.6 Air Con 1 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Our Astra G, Z16SE has developed a leak in the air con. Theres a patch of oil near to the pipe connection and P clip just under the air filter housing on the drivers side inner wing. Two questions; 1) Before I begin to take things apart, is this a known fault, with a known cure?
• Omega misting up. 14 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  Anyone else have a big problem with their Vauxhall Omega misting up in rainy weather? I find I often have to use the air con to clear it, putting the demister on usually agravates the problem. It seems that the air from the vents without the air con always smells a bit "humid" to me, would this be the pollen filter that needs replacing?
• Cooper S - Air Con on R56 Cooper S 31 May 2020 (Forum)
  On this forum you've always been helpful and polite so will post it here.......I have a R56 Cooper S. Now the air con has never been that cold albeit perfectly acceptable to me. I've only had this car 16 months so it might need a regas anyway ?? However leaving that aside when activating the air con its make the engine note rise considerably.
• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 2003 2.0 Air con and radiator fan on contiuously 11 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Recently my air con and radiator fan started running continuously when the engine was running. This is a June 2003 TDCi. Air con switch did nothing. Heater controls are the 3 round dials (pre-climate control) Fault was found to be the heater control panel which has all sorts of electronics behind it.
