  • Peugeot 306 (1993 - 2001) - 98 1.4 heater fan(has air con)blows fuse 21(30amp) 18 Jul 2009 (Forum)
    A friend of mine disconnected the motor and tried a lower amp fuse in and, as that didn't blow, concluded that the motor is fine..... there was however smoke coming out of the vents! Does that prove anything?! Anyone here into Peugeot wiring? The 306 is the Meridian which has air con. Thanks in advance
  • Vauxhall Corsa C (2000 - 2006) - Fitting Air Con 22 Sep 2007 (Forum)
    Hi Guys, My Daughter has an '02 Corsa 1.2 which is immaculate. However, she's asked me how easy it would be to fit Air Con to the vehicle. I've thought of getting the stuff off a scrappie but does anyone know if the heater is different? Anyone out there done this before? I can do all the work myself but would like to hear from anyone whose either done this before or looked into doing it.
  • Why do cars with A/C mist up without it? 14 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    Just something I've noticed as the weather has got damp and cooler. The Mondeo's demister is absolutey superb if I use the air-con, the car being driveable even on a cold start within about 10-15 seconds. Trouble is, when I then turn off the air-con, the car slowly mists up again (over the space of 5 minutes or so), regardless of blower setting, temperature or air direction.
  • Air conditioning servicing 11 Apr 2012 (Ask HJ)

  • Mondeo 2001 - where is evaporator drain? 17 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    My air con on the modeo (2001 petrol) only works for a few minutes before blowing warm wet air into the car. On cool days the air con works for ages, on hot humid days it stops very quickly. My Haines manual says to check that the evaporator drain is clear but doesn't say where it is.
  • Ford Galaxy (1995 - 2006) - 02 1.9 Air Con and heater fault codes 2 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    Out of curiosity I scanned the rest of the heater and came up with 00926 terminal 30, 01189 position motor for air distribution front, and 01271 motor for temperature flap-v68. The air con doesnt work and hasnt for a couple of years, which i was going to have regassed this week, but every thing else appears to, air distribution dial sends air to correct places, temperature control changes from hot to cold as expected, and front and rear fans work at correct speeds.

  • Nissan Primera air conditioning problems 21 May 2006 (Forum)
    Wonder if anyone might be able to help. I haven't really used my air con on my Primera (1997 2:0 petrol)for the last few months and now it doesn't work at all. When you press the switch the light comes on but there is no clunk from the engine/increase in revs. I checked the relay which didn't appear to be doing anything, and so with the air con switch pressed, bridged the terminals that it switches.

  • Should air conditioning be used all the time? 6 Jul 2018 (Ask HJ)
    Should the air con be used 24/7 or only when required to cool the car?
  • ford mondeo esatate petrol st 220 - 2006 model - air conditioning ford mondeo 8 Aug 2012 (Forum)
    I have been pleased with this car so far. I regassed the air con at 50 000 miles and all was ok. I noticed that it was not working very well a few weeks ago and had it re gassed at a ford main dealer. It made no difference. I have now done 100 000 miles The air con still works but is not very cold.
  • Renault Scenic (2003 - 2009) - 04 1.9dci "Air compressor sensor faulty",poor MPG 22 Mar 2009 (Forum)
    My 2004 1.9dci has been returning poor mpg for a few weeks. Couldn't find problem so took it to local Renault dealer. They say its a faulty "Air compressor sensor". They say that I need to replace this sensor and have air con re gassed in the process. Cost of £320. Is there any fuse I could take out to stop this happening and just live without the air con?
