• Suzuki Ignis II (2003 - 2007) - 04 1.5 Recharge of Air con 23 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  I drive an Ignis Sport 04 (April 2004 -25,000 mls), and I noticed today that my Air Con was not cooling the car at all, it seems to have stopped giving out cold air. In fact, it seems to have been gradual because it has not been giving out cold air in the past 3 weeks or so. I do not drive the car every day, but I am careful to use the A/C every week at least to make sure that it is kept lubricated.

• VW Passat TDI CR 170 DSG Estate - air-con failure - stone damage or dealer con? 16 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  My car has suffered air-con failure. I tried to get it reg-assed at my friendly local independent. There's a tiny leak so he wasn't able to help. His parting shot was "watch the main dealer stone-chip damage scam". Lo and behold, the dealer calls.

• Skoda Fabia 2 (2007 - ) - Free Aircon missing from new car 14 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I have spoken briefly to the dealership to let them know, the guy who sold me the car is not around till later today so I've not had a chance to get things sorted. I'm looking for advice as to what the best remedy would be. Retro-fitting the air-con at Skoda's expense? Rejecting the car? Cash compensation and leaving the car as it is or getting the car replaced with an air-con model. I guess me not noticing the air-con was missing has made things a bit trickier.
• Suzuki Ignis Sport - Advice needed for air-con problem 5 Sep 2010 (Forum)
  I have a Suzuki IGNIS 1.5 Sport (from april 2004), it's fine but I have been having problems with air-com from fairly early on. I am not mechanically-minded but I've had 5 cars with air con, and I know how to use it (at least once a week, followed by blast of hot air to kill bacterias).   In 2008, I noticed that the air con did not work on the Ignis.

• Vauxhall Zafira A - Air Con Blowing warm 26 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  Hi Any help gratefully recieved as I got roasted stuck on the M3 yesterday in my wife's 2005 petrol Zafira. Not sure what's wrong but she said she never uses the air con which probably hasn't helped over the last decade......so I topped up the gas which felt futile after half a squirt from the Ez Chill canister put it to mid-way along the 'green' bit of the gauge.

• Vauxhall Corsa D - Air con caused tapping noise 18 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Hi all,     (Vx Corsa D, 2008, 1.4L auto)   turned the air-con on today and suddenly heard loud tapping under the bonnet so I turned it off. (previously it had been working, but wasn't as cool as normal and I was considering getting a regas) The tapping is continuous, with the sound coming from around the camshaft pulley area.
• Vauxhall Astra H - Air con condenser 26 May 2011 (Forum)
  Been really well serviced, as you might imagine and has an extra heavy sump guard fitted. Problem is now that air con is not cold. Subject to a leakage test, I believe the A/C condenser is damaged/leaking. A visual inspection shows that the bottom rail has come loose, although I am unsure if this is part of the pressurised system or simply a fixing rail.
