compressor

Cupra not covering a pin hole leak in A/C Compressor raditor for a car 15 months old, claiming not a mechanical defect issue. So dealler suspects a foreign object came through grill. The fins do not look damaged My contension is that must have been very small object not to effect fins, and...

ok, I have spent a bit of time with the search function but not found a definitive answer so here goes: My Air Con Compressor is missing it's clutch plate, I've a chance of getting a 2nd hand compressor with it's clutch fitted for very cheap (compared to a new one!) and was wondering what the...

Took my Ibiza into the dealer earlier this week to get the aircon pipe replaced, which they've done fine. But just had a phone call and been told the comressors siezed up and need replacing along with the drier:( The pipe replacement has already cost me £300 and the compressor/drier is going...

hi i had my car remapped a few weeks ago and at the same time a changed my forge splitter DV to fully recirc, it seems to chatter alot iv tried it on soft settings and hard settings but no really difference in the chattering. im concerned it mite be the turbo stalling or could it just be the...

Hi All, having had the usual air-con compressor failurelast year, I bought a new one, whixh was installed a month or so ago. Not long after, notice that sometimes there wasn't any cold air coming out of the vents and the engine started to "hunt". Went back to the garage and they diagnosed that...

Noticed yesterday that the aircon was no longer cold. A mate regased it today but I noticed that the compressor is not kicking in. Also, the aircon had gas in it. I've checked the fuses sat on top of the battery and they are all OK and the belts are OK. Any other pointers to check...

My wife's Leon TDi (2003, 87k miles) recently started making a strange whirring/grinding noise for a few seconds on firing up and turning off the engine, which she diagnosed as a slipping alternator belt and decided to ignore until the 90k mile service (on account of the fact that the alternator...

do i need spring compressors to change the top mount bearings or not? thanks

Guys, My Alhambra's A/C unit was recharged today - but the compressor seems to be playing up - think its had its day.... So question - GSF Car parts?? or anywhere else - Someone must have been here before any comments for me... I have done a brief search, already but my new Vista install...

Owned my car from new in 03. TDI Sport PD130 Climate Control no longer blows cold air. Took it to Kwik Fit for a gas recharge hoping this was the problem. Not had the CC serviced since purchase. Told me it seemed the compressor was faulty (they checked the fuses they say). Took it...

Has any one else had the compresser fail on the Ibiza, apparently it is quite common after 50 k or 3-4years. Only problem is its over 650 quid to get fixed. I think I will just sweat[:@]

For a few months, my engine (Ibiza FR, remapped PD130) has been making an intermittent "whirring" sound that rises and falls with the engine revs. It's not a loud noise, but I'm definitely not imagining it. Also, it seems to come and go fairly randomly every couple of minutes. Today, whilst...

Hi all, Not long had my 2001 Onvi Ibiza Cupra, and with all this hot weather of late, have noticed air con is not working. I have been spending alot of time on this site and highly rate it, so im pretty clued up on the commom problems regarding this issue which is regularly...

Hi, Some of you may have seen my recent question regarding the failure of aircon on my 51 Cupra 20VT http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119007. I’ve not actually managed to solve the problem but I’ve ruled a few things out thanks to steering provided by the group. I just...

I've been trying to find a compressor map for the vf34/20 - can anyone point me in the right direction? Ta Raf

I have a 2000 TDi 110 and last week the aircon stopped working. I presumed it needed recharging and this morning took it to have it done but was told by the mechanic there that it was full of gas and he thought it was the clutch on the compressor not engaging. I found this wonderful forum...

Hi. I have had my Leon 1.9 TDI serviced today and have been told that the compressor on the air conditioning is going. It makes a rattling noise when the engine is around 1,500 rpm. Does anyone know if these can be fixed? Or does it need replacing? If so, then where can I go around...

Hello, In my new Seat Leon from 2001 the aircon isnt working. Its it the manuel aircon in my car. When i turn the heater to cold , turn up the speed of the fan and press the aircon button - nothing happens. I had an idea it just needed some R134A so i went to the local aircon shop to get i...
