• Recommendations for a used car without air con sme 31 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  I was reading an Honest John answer to a query about air con smell; he said that some cars are worse than others. I have only owned two cars: 1, A 2000 reg Polo. 2, A 2007 used Prius. The former had no air con and thus gave me no such smell for 10 years of use.

• Air Con trouble - Daewoo Lanos 23 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  Car:- Daewoo Lanos 1.6 SX 1998 The gas (all of 8 litres) has evaporated from my air con system in less than 2 months (on a 5-yr old car). A reputable local garage/dealer partially recharged it and did a dye test and asked me to bring it back to them 2 weeks later. In the meantime,the air con worked but again it emptied after a month (so there\'s definitely a leak somewhere) but they tell me that the dye is fine and theat there\'s no trace of a leak.

  Hi, I was driving till work the other morning and the power steering light was displayed in the tachometer so i dropped the car off with the mechanic who told me that the aluminium support bracket under the power steering and air con pumps had snapped.

Feeling for cold air coming out of the vents seems a bit of a no-no seeing as I probably wont be able to tell the difference between the air-con'ed air and the outside air temp.
