Aircon

[LewisG]

Does anyone on here have air con that works?

[cully]

yup mine works

cool ah!

[Toms306]

Yeah! Well, 2 of mine had working AC lol...out of all 12. And tbf that was 3 years ago as well!

I miss air con though, and pollen filters, especially at this time of year!

[Poodle]

Nope, have ripped out a fair few systems that didn't work though lol.

[LewisG]

I want to get it working but don't know where to start

[londondan86]

Get the system pressure tested first before wasting money on a regas if there is a leak

Mine passes the vacuum test, but it stops working about 3 months after being filled. This isn't quite enough time to get a cheap winter refill dammit!

It was fully functional last time I drove the car (about a month ago - off road for VTS beam/VTS B4s all round, clutch and remap).

Mine has always worked as I wash out the grills when I clean the car.

It's the salt in winter that rots out the condenser. Also if you don't have the engine tray the bottom ally pipes rot especially where the P clips are, salt get in there and stays to rot the pipe.

I'm going to book it in at alpinairs and go from there.

[Toms306]

Bet the lower pipes will be broken on yours Lewis, have a look at them, you'll usually see the green dye leaked from them. I haven't seen any good ones for a while lol. It was a daft idea putting ally pipes in steel mounts! That said, the condensers do also fail, only takes a light front end bump to bend them like a banana lol.

I have not long ago had my air con serviced,runs like a dream....and ice cold
