simcor Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well as I had a trailer fridge engineer handy I asked him for a price to check and charge my air con system, he dutifully did so and I now have lovely working air con in my car, no leaks found and the system was holding pressure very well, he did a thorough search for leaks and pressure hold test etc. And for a better price than the usual suspects for on the spot air con service. All in all it has made me quite a bit happier today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salsheikh Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 what settings do you put it on to get it to blow out cool air - mines seems to be like a little breeze and nothing more. had mine regassed recently too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Temp set to cold, fan on whatever speed you want and air con switch on, recirculate button on also as it helps it get nice and cold. If it has been regassed and still not properly cold then something isn't right. Is the cooling fan running when the air con is turned on?

FatHead1979 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 what settings do you put it on to get it to blow out cool air - mines seems to be like a little breeze and nothing more. had mine regassed recently too. Before I changed the pollen filter in mine I used to get barely any flow through the vents regardless of whether the A/C was on. A new cabin filter changed all that, just a pity it's such as PITA to fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Maybe I spoke too soon, it does get cold but I think it is already not getting as cold as it was, not too mention the fan output seems pants really, gonna see about changing the pollen filter soon but it's not looking as good as it was, jinxed it yet again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Have you got a UV light to see if there are any leaks? I used one and found a tiny leak in my condenser which is why the system would pressurise for the recharge but then slowly stop working.

simcor Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 No I havent got a UV light handy, he did check the condenser with some sort of spray for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Try and get hold of one so you can check all the system components and joints for traces of the UV reactive dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezwez Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think I will get one as iam not sure about mine may have a small leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Uv light will only work if UV dye has been put in the system, not sure if its a standard thing to do on refilling or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 glad you told me that as I was going to buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
