hi guys a bit of a funny one this, i put my aircon on the coldest setting (lo) then as the cabin gets too cold i raise the temp a little, however then when i come to set it to low again, the aircon does not give me any cold air. after i have switched the car off for say 10mins the air con works on lo again, i have changed the pollen filter which really needed doing anyway, but has anybody had this happen to them...1.2 petrol 2011, thanks in advance mark

Might be an issue with the sensor that protects the evaporator, forgotten its name, or there is enough moisture in the fridge gas to cause small pellets of ice to form which will block the flow of liquid/gas - until the system has been switched off for a short period of time, then liquid/gas flow is restored as the ice pellets have "gone".

Evaporator temperature sensor.

I agree, that may be misreading high, causing the system to cool further than it should.

thank you for your answers :-)

@markbsac when you put it to Low what actual temperature does it get to in the centre of the car, and what temperature was it at inside before and what is it outside? So basically what is the too cold, is it lower than 14 degrees C? Does it get to that and keep going lower and just how low?
