aircon problems

[Jimjitsu]

okey can anyone help me here my aircon is driving me nuts i had it regassed because it is cold for a few minutes then goes the same temp as outside air the fans start and the compressor kicks in running all the time at first but after a long drive seems to kick in and out every 20 seconds or so also the revs drop and rise while its doing this but still hot air any ideas anyone?

[Jimjitsu]

no one had similar problems with this or might have a idea where to start with it?

Mines not great either! Same problem, it kicks in for a (very) short time, then just sort of...gives up! Not good on the drive back from Santa Pod at the weekend! V. V. Hot!

It\'s normal for the revs to drop and rise when the ac is on. It only comes on for a few seconds then goes off again to save on fuel. If it\'s blowing warm air, then soz but i don\'t know what\'s wrong. Mine was blowing warm air so i removed it completley from the car

ive had this with mine if it on speed 1 or 2 does it stay on for a longer time or does is cut in and out

i have found that if i open the bonnet start the car from cold and sit there with it just idling it stays cold so its after things start to heat up under the bonnet it goes pete tong

much like alison said if i go off for a drive it starts cold then just dissapears

coz if it stays cut in then out it the fan switch not passing the earth through correctly poss not at all on 3/4 due to wear i put some switch cleaner inside and it now works ok but! these car are not the best for ac the windows work alot faster lol:flamed

we might just as well take it off it saves weight and then more fuel till u put your foot down

try opening your bonnet when the cars stone cold and just letting it idle with the aircon on see if it stays on let me know if it works just want to know if yours is the same as mine might be something that others have same problem with

It sounds like you\'ve got too much gas in there, I had a similar problem with mine when I first had it regassed and the air-con guy and I diagnosed that the compressor was cutting out as the pressure was too high.
