alz Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Does any one know if the rad/cooling fan as anything to do with the aircon cooling, i ask because my aircon keeps going on and off, and the pipe by pressure switch gets very hot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Depends where the condensor is on your engine i guess , and if the rad/fan covers that area ,but i'm unsure TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi Preee, yes the condensor is behind the main rad, I have asked this because there is a possibility that the main rad/fan as stoped working, as this could be stopping the aircon from working right, I need to know how i can test the rad/fan, this then would give me an idea of what could be wrong.

mjt Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I think the rad fan should run all the time the aircon is switched on so you should be able to see and hear it running with the car parked and ticking over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuke Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hi, correct, thus if the fan has a problem then the A/C will not work as it should... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks guys, it looks like it could be the rad/fan do you know how i can test it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well, the clue was in my reply - if you open the bonnet, start the car and leave it ticking over then switch on the aircon you should see and hear the fan running. Turn off the A/C and it should stop (providing the engine hasn't warmed up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alz Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Thanks Mike, it looks like i will be getting a new rad/fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
