Air Con Issues

[Altech]

Thanks for the part number Nick

I've found a second hand one for a decent price, but I'm not sure if I want to spend £180 more and get one from autoairconparts.co.uk.....especially now that the weather has cooled down! I should really sort it out though and get my free re-gas from kwik fit.

I does sound like your compressor, but could be other things. To test the compressor you can disconect the connector to it (right hand side as you look at it) and test the voltage output. you should see 7V with the engine running (econ off, set to low ect), if you do - its your compressor. Ive been meaning to do a how to guide about all this, but havent got round to it yet!

I just found my volt metre and tested the wire leading to the compressor. It is receiving 7v with the engine running a/c on, econ off. So I guess it is the compressor then

A how to guide of how to replace it would be handy

If you order from this site;

http://www.autoairconparts.co.uk/

it is a new unit (not recon) and is identical to the one you would get from the dealer (same manufacturer) but comes to £330 in total. I can recomend the company as thats where I got mine from.

That`s very handy Nick!
May try these myself, much cheaper than the garage I was using.
