Some of you might have read my thread last week where I had a wierd problem with the climate control in that it got stuck on the max heat setting. I pulled out some fuses to check them, and in doing so must have reset something as it suddenly started to blow cold air again. Anyhow, I got a mobile air con company to come out and service/regas just to be on the safe side...
After testing, the system was half full of gas, but when he removed all the remaining gas, vacuumed the system, then filled it with fresh gas/oil, the low pressure curcuit gauge on the installation rig started to overpressure. The guy reckned there was an electical fault, which he had seen on other rear engined cars like porsches. He mentioned that the rad fans should kick in shortly after the aircon is turned on, as the fans help to circulate the gas round the system. My fans did not come on. So Ive now got to take it to an autoelectricians to have the fans tested. Just wondered if anyone on here had a good understanding of how the system works. Can anyone else comment if their rad fans kick in when the climate/AC is switched on? I know on my golf the fans start up when the ac is on.
Thanks
