• Ford Mondeo Estate - Ford Mondeo Air Con - sensitivity 25 Jun 2018 (Forum)
  The air con in my 2015 Mondeo Estate seems to be over sensitive to temperature changes and effectively seems to try to keep the temperature exactly as set, blowing hot and cold alternately.  This almost continuous operation is frustrating and unnecessary and probably doesn't help fuel cnsumption.
• Ford focus 1.8 tdci 03 plate - Help air con 24 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  I have a focus with ac issue. The air con doesn't work although light displays on panel. Gas is full to max as filled it. Something I have noticed is the cooling fan is on even on cold start. A colleague looked at it and said the acon pressure sensor could cause this, anyone agree?
• Citroen Xsara Picasso 08 Plate - Air Con Whiring Noise 6 Aug 2013 (Forum)
  Its like a leaf has got into the fan and is spining round and round. If I have the heater fan on number 1 and switch on the Air Con the noise starts and changes pitch with the rev of the engine.  If I turn the Aircon button off the noise stops Has anyone had this problem before, is there anything I can check?

• Ford Mondeo III (2000 - 2007) - 03 1.8 Air-con partly works but .... 30 May 2009 (Forum)
  My 2003 1.8LX has an air-con problem. The A/C light only comes on (and the A/C works) with the Fan switch set to position 1. When the fan is set to 2,3 or 4 the light goes out (and the A/C stops working). The A/C light comes back on again when the fan is reduced to 1 again.

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Noisy air con 2 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Hello fellow swarfega users, In an effort to please my better half I bought her a low mileage c max which she likes. The air con comes on every time the car is started up -Fords way of making sure the system doesnt fail through lack of use I suppose. There is a whining noise as though the compressor has a dry bearing but this disappears when you switch off the air con.

• Citroen Picasso C4 2015 1.6HDi - Type of air-con fluid in my '15 C4 Picasso? 8 Jul 2022 (Forum)
  Hi My air con has stopped working. When I turn it on, I hear a light 'sizzling' sound from behind the dash, and no cool air. It has never had a gas top-up, so I'm hoping that's all that's needed on my 7-year old car.
• Volkswagen Golf V (2004 - 2008) - 2005 2.0 Heater coming on randomly 23 May 2008 (Forum)

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 05 1.6 Air Conditioning 4 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  I've got the 115 version of the Focus, and I am very pleased with the car so far, had it for about 9 months. However, I recently got a Ford franchised dealer to carry out an air conditioning service as the air conditioning wasn't blowing as cold as it should. It came back and the air con was nice and cold and all was good. A week after the service, I switched the air con and and noticed that with the air con on the car was making quite a groaning sound, quite loud as I could here it above the radio.
