Yo yo yo ,

Quick plea for some info really, my A/C has gone directly to lunch recently. The little 'click' from the relay in the fusebox area doesn't happen anymore when I hit the A/C button. Also the light (inside the button) which usually comes on doesn't anymore also.

Checked all the fuses....they're ok.

Dunno which relay it is to replace, wondering if low gas levels can cause system to shut down?

cheers for any help,
Alex

 

yes low pressure in the system causes the safety to cut in so you cant overheat and burn out the compressor when theres no gas in it so you prob only need a recharge as for the light the bulb has prob gone just replace it.

 

cheers scoobyboy I'll get the gas filled up !

I think the light doesn't come on because the relay doesn't kick in

nice one though

Alex

 

the light should come on regardless of what the relay does trust me it's the bulb

 

ok cool, I just hope the A/C works on gas fill up cos the relays down there in the drivers area are real bummers to get to !

Need breakers yard to sell me an A/C switch with bulb !

 

Got a similar problem with my A/C. How do you fill the gas back up?

 

Water of life? You have to just find a local aircon specialist garage...they have all the right gases/equipment etc. to do a safe job.

Not sure how much yet I need to get mine done

 

a.k.a. A strong french drink!

Looks like a trip to a specialist then. I always thought the A/C was pathetic but perhaps a gas recharge will sort it out. Cheers for the advice.

when purchasing my scoob a while back I went in an identical to mine 93WRX and the air coming through it's vents was extremely extremely cold ! Mine when it worked was pants in comparison. Makes a big difference I think

 

Guys

I got my aircon recharged last year when in for a service @ a scoob dealer. Cost £65 to recharge the system & they said that it also had an 'electrical fault' but didn't specify what.

Anyway, I've running the aircon for 5 - 10 mins every few days as recommended during the winter & recently tried it with the temp set to cold & it seems to have stopped working again. I would have thought a re-gas should have lasted longer than 10 months.

Any ideas Scoobyboy (does Chris still work beside you & is Rod still in sales?)

yeah noticed that my A/C dont work either
seems common on scoobs.

big-den - i quite sure it should last longer than 10 mths
