ford2063 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hello, I have recently purchased a 2003 '03' Mondeo 2.0 Tdci (130 bhp) Zetec which I am very happy with. There is one issue which worries me. The air con seems not to be very cold even when on LO. There is some air coming out of the fans which is kind of cold but it does not have the chilled effect I would have hoped for. I can imagine on the one or two warm days we may get this summer it won't do much. Could it be something simple? What prices am I looking at best and worst case scenarios? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 It could be the air con system needs a service and re-gassing. Costs about £50 for re-gassing not sure on the cost for servicing it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miredale Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I recently had a the problem on a 2003 2.0tdci mondeo. A re-gas would have cost £50 which would have been done at home, but the engineer who came out flushed the old gas out and checked the radiator for the air con. This sits in between the main engineer radiator and the turbo radiator I think? My air con radiator had sprung a leak but the strange thing was that the other radiators in front and behind the aircon radiator were fine. So a new aircon radiator cost me around £380 which was a workshop job. You might be lucky and get away with a re-gas as I was told a 2003 year car is due a topup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
