Mars Red.,.... Sorry Metallic Orange!

Hi all,

 

Cuke, thanks for your reply.

Upon having the regas, the other week, I emailed Ford UK from their main www.ford.co.uk webpage asking as to what their tech dept state the temp should be.

 

Today, I had a telephone call from their Customer Support team saying that it should be no more than 5-6c.

I stated that it was not a complaint, just a question, and they asked me to have the car booked back in to my dealer to be looked at. Claimed Ford Tech will be calling them on the day too.

 

For reference, when temp was 23c outside recently 8c through vent on speed 1-3 9.5c on 4

after regas...

20c outside 8.5c

14c (today) 9c

 

Will update next week once they have had another look at the car....

Cheers btmalden

Well, took car back to dealership where I bought car from.
Had air con regassed at my cost (not covered on warranty) and.......... no difference
It settles at 7-8c

Looks like I will have to live with it.

Cheers for the replies peeps!

Seeing that I have only had the car since end October 2012, I will contact dealership just to get their take on it (not due for service until September).

My old focus was around 4c, and my other half's Hyundai I10 is 5c. I remember my old 2007 Transit Connect work van, I managed to get ice on the windscreen from the air con in JUNE!!!!

 

To be honest, not impressed if that it the coldest it gets...

Fitted my modified switch in November but I have a 2010 car. Didn't get stuck in the snow but then I took the wimpish way out and walked into work leaving the car in the garage.

Look at it as a £35 gamble... I doubt they will have changed the car a lot unless it's a facelift model so it will probalby work. if not you may be able to sell it on on here.

Cheers mate!!
Took the plunge today, and removed centre panel. The plug was there and now hanging out of the slot with the switch ordered............ a big THANKS to you all!!
