  When booking my car in for its two-year service I was advised to have my air conditioning re-gassed and seal changed. It would cost £60 - should I do it?

• mercades sprinter - Anti-freeze change- DEF button? 22 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  I wish to renew the anti-freeze in my 2001 sprinter before winter. The manual says: if it has an automatic climatisation system fitted......' (presume this means air-con) press the DEF button. As my vehicle does have air-con i presume it would have a DEF button, but cant find anyone who knows what this button looks like (or what it's for)- can anyone help please?
• Mitsubishi Carisma - Cooling Fan 3 Jan 2013 (Forum)
  Hi all My cooling fan been running now and then during the colder weather recently, usually when the air-con is on.Is this to keep the air-con 'bits' cool with it running so much ? The temp gauge sits plum in  the middle as it's always done. No loss of coolant - car runs great - mpg OK - compressor kicks in and out as it should (is that right?)

• VW Golf Estate Climate control 5 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  My brother in law's 2002 Golf's climate control stopped working last night. With climate control on, both cooling fans in the engine compartment do not come on. Air-con technician checked and said air-con system does not need regassing. All fuses are okay. We have tried to access the climate control diagnosis mode without success. The car is currently in Kuala Lumpur and my brother in law needs to return to Singapore tomorrow and it's very hot!
• Peugeot 306 - flashing STOP 1 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  After a gentle front-end shunt on a roundabout which did little more than crack the no-plate, the STOP light on the dash flashed if the air-con was running. The air-con seemed to work OK, but after proper investigation I found that the bump had bent one of the radiator fans, causing it to jam. I presume that triggered the STOP lamp. Anyone know if this is a deliberate function?
• Ford Focus Estate 59 - Faulty Air Conditioning - blowing warm one side 26 Jun 2013 (Forum)
    They now seem stumped as to what could be causing it.  As the air con does work at certain times we think the actual system must be ok as it will blow out air around 6 degrees C.  Does anyone have any ideas of what would cause this fault? Many thanks  
• Fresh Air 1 Feb 2012 (Forum)
  In the good old days (1980s) I used to drive Vauxhalls and the centre face vent was connected to the outside air. I could have toasty warm feet, demisted windscreen and cold air to breathe and keep me awake. Climate control, air con etc are all wonderful and I would not be without them but why is there no new car that can give fresh, external air, when the heaters etc are on?
• Air con condensation - Citroen C5 21 Sep 2005 (Forum)

• Laguna 95 RT Climate Control 'Service' 18 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Approximately 30 seconds after turning the ignition on, my climate control displays 'service'. The air conditioning does't work, nor do the fans. Thinking it was due an air con service, I contacted a Renault dealer and explained the fault. The dealer suggested that it probably wasn't an air con service but something else.
• Ford Focus - Hot air blowing from drivers footwell air outlet 31 Jul 2018 (Forum)
  Constantly blowing out hot air from drivers side air outlet underneath the stearing wheel. All fans and air con are off but it is constantly blowing out hot air. Car is not over heating and engine coolant is filled correct levels.

• A few answers please? 18 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I'm considering buying a R reg 306 and I have a few queries. The first one is regarging air con, I had built my hopes up about getting air conditioning in my new car! The one I am looking at doesn't have it, for those of you of that have air conditioning do you believe it makes a huge difference?
• Renault Scenic (1999 - 2003) - 02 1.9 Air Conditioning Problems After Re-Gas 22 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  The boing noise is still occurring every 20 or so seconds with the accompanying drop and rise in revs, and the air is now no cooler than it was before I took it to the garage. I also noticed there are no condensation drips from underneath the car. It makes no difference if the air con is on auto or manual, and the 'boing' noise stops when the air con is turned off.
