When I switch on the air con in the freelander, it makes no difference to the tempeture. The fan works fine on all speeds .Can anyone offer some advice on the problem.
Many Thanks.
Many Thanks.
if your air con is definatly on( the button is illuminated etc.), unless someone else has any ideas id say it needs re-gassin, you see loadsa place around that do air-con leak checks and re-gassin etc, infact i think you can actually try doin it yourself now with a gas re-fill cartridge from halfrauds
To start the aircon the outside airinlet should be blocked (the recirculation button ON) and make sure the output airflow is directed through the dashboard vents in front of you, otherwise I'm afraid there is little difference in temperature you can notice. I've been running my car for some 6 years with the airflow going half through the vents and the other half down to the feet and the result was zip. Two years back my wife was fiddling with the settings and purely by "accident" she selected all through the vents and hey, we got cold air coming in....... (same goes for the heating in winter of course, only luke air coming in on the divided position but when only coming through the front vents it's miracle.)
At least on my MY01 Td4 it works like this. (My neighbour having a Td4 Sport my 05 does the same now and he agreed it's much better than before when he was also working on split position etc...). Good luck.
Dont !!! use the DIY regassing, ! , My brother works for a company that overhauls A/C and he tell me it not a good idea and it can cause a few problems
Your input is in answer to which previous post pse ??
(Don't do what ??)
I have used DIY re-gassing a couple of times. It is about 80PSI on the low pressure side when running. The secret is to warm the can in a jug of water to increase the pressure. It sometimes gets a bit slow as you get down the can but o.k. for me. Never have found the leak. I top it up once a year and it lasts about 11 months.
Hi There,
Went back to Halfords today,had the air con checked again only to find that the gas I had put in last week was depleted.Must have a leak in the air con system some where. Anyone out there got any sugestions about stopping the leak, or even finding where it is in the first place?
Many Thanks.
