• Damp Passenger Footwell 12 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  Could this be internal condensation from the cold pipes in the air con? or is it a leaking pipe from the overflow, or do all cars suffer from damp footwells with aircon?
• Trading Standards Help Needed for Omega 1 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  When the garage looked at my belt problem today they first checked all the pulleys and noticed the air con one was loose. On closer inspection the top bolt was missing and the bottom right bolt had snapped off. When a new fanbelt was fitted it came straight off due to a unstable air con unit. I was informed the engine would need to come out and the bolt would have to be drilled thru or we can just ignore air con and put a normal fan belt on and have no air con.
• Dodgy garage, what to do next .... ? 1 Nov 2009 (Forum)
  However, I have increasingly become of the opinion that the garage is either: 1. not doing jobs correctly, or 2. not doing them at all I had my air-con re-gassed in June. Straight afterwards, I noticed a low 'thump' on engaging the air-con after about 10 seconds. I telephoned an air-con specialist, who advised me that the unit had been over-pressured.

• BMW 323i Air con broken down 2000 reg 24 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  Hi all, As the subject says the air con on my 2000 reg BMW 323i has broken down. There's roughly 100k miles on the clock. A local garage recharged it about a month ago, giving me the impression that this would solve the problem. However, while this fixed it for three weeks or so there is now no cold air coming out at all, which I assume means that it is leaking.

• Renault Re-gassing air conditioning 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Is it worthwhile re-gassing my air conditioning with a recharge canister from Halfords? The car is a year 2000 model which I have just bought. I doubt that the air-con has been serviced in recent years. Do I need to spend out on a specialist service or do those canisters work?

• Air-con question - T Reg Peugeot 406 24 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  But we'll leave that for now... The Air-con was lovely and cold when I picked the car up, I've been using the car (and thus the air-con) 2 or 3 times a week since, and over the last week or so have noticed it's not been managing to get as cold as it was when I picked it up, to the point this weekend where it wasn't changing the temperature of the air at all.

  Has anyone seen an aftermarket air con system that can be installed yourself? I'm imagining something you plug into the cigar lighter and then connect some hoses through the window. Thanks for any suggestions.
