Technical Air Con Not Working

[davidgl16]

Hi, I'm having an issue with the air con in my 2011 1.2 Mylife Evo, I can switch the air con on in the car, the compressor sounds like it kicks in but I dont get any cold air. It's only happened very recently, it was really cold only a couple weeks ago.

I was under the impression that the rad fan would run intermittently when the car was stopped and the air con was on but its not running. I've checked the fan is OK and runs fine, I've also replaced the fan low speed resistor under the coolant tank... The air con pipe going down to the rad seems to heat up after a couple minutes, I've had one of these 'air con pressure checks' done and there was no issues with the gas in the system.

At a bit of a loss... any ideas anyone?

Hi,
simplest would be connect to a laptop, and use it to switch off + back , on all the modes for aircon operation,

that would highlight electrical issues,
(should also read the system pressure the cars ECU is "seeing")

MultiECUScan, is the program of choice,

where are you based..?
