Hey all,
I'm having a little problem with my AIRCON, it was not working as 'well' as before a few days ago and then today it has totally stopped working,
At the mo' it does this..
While driving/idle it will try to engage the aircon/compressor for 3sec's then stop for 12sec's then try for 3sec's (seconds) over and over and over again... i took it somwhere and put some more gas in it, as i felt the gas might have run out, BUT its all there and ok, no other problems with the aircon and anything really this is the first thing that has happend,
Some people have said it could be pressure related and its switching off to stop the pressure from building up, this makes sence.. im taking to an aircon place tomorrow, but i like to have some suggestions about possible causes...
I got my hose and sprayed the aircon radiator (right?) and it seemed to stay on for much longer but then it would stop the aircon, and restart it.
Ive ran the diag for the a/c and have not found a fault.
being in darwin this is REALLY crap and i want to fix it asap.
There are no noises apart from the usual a/c clutch and assosiated devices.. so what else can it be? blocked pipes and filter?? anyone else had this problem...
Cheers.
