• Mercedes 420SEL W126 - R12 air con regas 29 May 2010 (Forum)
  Is there a cost effective work around to regas a R12 system now that this substance appears to be outlawed? I have varying responses from garages, air con specialists and the net. The answers seem to depend more on what product they offer than my best interests. Answers vary from new seals, evaporator, condenser, hoses, compressor, to (net) 'just put R134a in and accept more frequent regassing'.
• Honda CR-V II (2002 - 2006) - 03 2.0 Air Con Pump Failed 6 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  Our once trusty CRV is getting some annoying faults these days. At 65K the Air Con Pump has disintegrated and of course needs replacing. A new one is £1,100 ho, ho, ho and recoonditioned £500 + fitting. I guess plan C. would be a breakers yard. I would welcome ideas on how and where I can resolve this problem?
• Mondeo Air con Condensers 9 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  The condenser for the air con on my 200X mondeo (last of the old shape) is being replaced as according to my local Ford dealer it is leaking. I had the aircon regassed a month or so ago, but its effectivness went downhill soon after.

• Citroen C3 1.4HDi 2002 - Air Con failed 10 May 2010 (Forum)
  The air seemed cold on the way back home. At the weekend Mrs C reported that she couldn't tell that it was getting cold. On checking I found that the radiator cooling fan wasn't spinning, which it should when the air con is switched on.
• Focus Air-Con Stopped Working 21 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  My 1999T Focus's air-conditioning has stopped working. Just before the winter it was still capable of freezing my fingers off, but it now seems to have no cooling effect at all. Throughout the winter I have switched on the air-con once a week for about 10 minutes (as seems to be recommended).

• Citroen C3 (2002 - 2009) - 2005 HDi Air con not working 5 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  We have a 2005 HDi which we have owned from new, mileage now 32,000, and the air con has been used most of the time. Today it was really hot so I turned the temp dial to cold but it didn't seem to be working. The light above the switch comes on but it just blows out normal temp air.
• Vauxhall Zafira A (1999 - 2005) - 2000 2.0Dti - Air Con Problem 28 Jun 2008 (Forum)
  The air-con on my zaffy isn't working. I had it recharged sometime ago and when I switched it on, it was brilliant, really cold. I think there was a leak as when I can to use it again the following day, there was no cold air and I believe the coolant escaped.

  What should I do about the worn out air con on my V50? 12 Sep 2014 (Ask HJ)
  I have a Volvo V50 D4 2010 with a noisy Air Con Pump. Is it as simple as unbolting and attaching a replacement? Will it work out of the box, so to speak,...
• Trust an expert? 16 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  Going round a roundabout we heard a very loud clunk underneath, but assumed it was road debris and thought nothing more. Shortly afterwards the air-con stopped working but we didn't make the connection at the time. Assuming the air-con needed re-gassing I phoned the nearest air-con specialist to get an estimate and make a booking. The specialist's response, over the phone without having seen the car, was staggering - "It'll be the condenser, mate, it always is".
