• Ford Focus 1.6 - Ford Focus 2002 Air Con Problems 19 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  I got the car back and they said the system seemed fine and they simply gassed it up and away I went with cool air and a working compressor! However, a day later, the compressor has stopped kicking in and so i'm once again without air con - which is starting to be quite depressing given the journey I have to make soon to northern Italy.

  {It\'s alright, I deleted the other multiple postings. DD} Hi I have a 1998 vectra DTI CDX with climate control. The air con has worked with no probs since i bought the car 2 years ago.

• Honda Accord UK (1998 - 2003) - Air con problem? 10 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  I actually had to pull over and run the fans at full power for about five minutes before the car cleared again. What I'm wondering is whether this indicates a fault someone, a leak somewhere in the air con system, or just that because it was 4° C. the air-conditioning pump had turned itself off, with resultant condensation. The car was on auto the whole way there, and was on auto until the point where it steamed up on the way back.

• Faulty interior fan - nissan micra 25 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I have a problem with my S reg micra, if I turn the interior fan to speed (4) it works fine but the lower speeds will not work. I have air con and if I turn the switch to (1) or any of the lower speeds the air con light will illuminate and I can hear the pump kick in but no fan movement. I assume there must be some type of resistor which reduces the fan voltage and reduce the fan speed but is that located on the fan?

• Ford Fiesta 1242cc 16v 2000 X - Air con compressor not engaging 16 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    I have been very pleased that by giving the aircon a blast at least once a month right through the year, both still had effective air con despite never being re-gassed in over 11 years............until now. I notice that the aircon compressor clutch is not engaging when I press the button.  The fuse is OK, I haven't yet done any further electrical checks.
• Vauxhall Vectra C (2002 - 2008) - Air-con repair not covered by warranty? 18 Apr 2011 (Forum)
  Can anybody help? Recently my two and a half year old Vectra's air-con packed up. It is completely standard 07 plate SRI cdti 150 with @ 32,000 miles. I 'phoned the local Vauxhall garage & booked the car in to be looked at under warranty. They told me that the compressor condenser needed replacing, and that the part and labour would be covered under the original 3 year warranty.
• Toyota Avensis (2003 - 2008) - 04 2.0 Air Con can it be bypassed ? 27 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  2.0 D4D model. Does anyone know, if the air con can be bypassed ? My aircon compressor is "rattling" on idle, but if I turn on the aircon the "rattling" stops. My mechanic tells me that its something to do with the pulley/ flanges on the aircon unit and the clutch mechanism then cuts out the rattling when it has "engaged".
