Now mates,
Last summer I re-gassed my A/C since the little A/C button light would come on and the fan would work but nothing else happened in the cooling and conditioning department.
For a while (3 days) the beast was working splendidly... although some compressor whine/rattle suggested that all was actually not 100% well in the engine room.
After the 3 days (of deteriorating cooling) the beast packed up altogether, so I deduced that the A/C might have a leak... but at the same time/instead, the compressor seems to have packed up altogether... since now the little A/C button light would come on but the fan wouldn't. So something in there is now worse than it was before.
If I was not afraid of a fatal death, I would manually de-gas the system and swap the compressor before trying again... but I'm not 100% sure what's wrong with the bitch. Could be that the compressor is fine and I just need more gas (after sealing the leak).
But why is the fan no longer working when I press the A/C button? Does it offer any clues?
Meanwhile I have a dashtop fan stuck to the dash top... but it is ****e basically. I need A/C.
