Faulty aircon

Featured Replies

right guys as to my earlier post this morning i decided to spend my day goin to a garage and getting my aircon recharge

bad news somethings wrong with my compressor, it does not seem to be working

so heres the break down

CHECKED THE FUSES ALL SEEM OK

THERE IS NO DROP OR RISE IN REV RANGE WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS SWITCHED ON

THE GUY AT THE STORE SAID IT WOULD NOT HOLD ITS PRESSURE/TEMPERATURE

THERE ARE NO FAULT WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH

any advise, tips, previous encounters of this sort guys

really dont wanna fork out 700 quid to get a new compressor fitted

CHEERS

Did he say there was a leak and has it occasionally worked intermittently?

If no and yes in that order try replacing the EVAP temperature sender in the dash.

so now i know the air con is working and i know there are no leaks cos my dad had one of those do it yourself air con kits so i used the pressure gauge to test the pressure and that was fine. Any thing else it could be im pretty sure its not the evap sensor cos from what ive read that would trigger a fault code in engine management

any ideas ?
