Hi all,
Since we've been having a bit of hot weather recently, I thought I would invest in having my Air Con re-charged. It's my third car with Air Con now, yet they've always needed re-charging when I buy them and I've never bothered before.
Anyway, I booked it in to a local garage yesterday who charged £45 to have the system checked and gassed. They said there were no leaks or problems and the compressor (or whatever he called it) was working fine. Although upon switching the system on... nothing! The blowers are still going exactly as before, but there is no change in temperature. The little frost symbol is showing down in the bottom left corner and I have it set to 'LO' on the display.
Is there anything else that I can check that may cause the system to not work? He did mention a pressure switch or something along those lines, could that be the cause or is it more likely to be something simple like wiring/fuses?
Any ideas would be a great help to me, thanks!
