A couple of weeks back my Stilo 1.6 MW was in for second service, and I asked for the aircon to be checked under warranty as it wasn't working ... when I got it back I checked it on my way home and cold air was coming through fine. I didn't have occasion to use the aircon until last week-end ... I was at a meeting with a friend, and the car was stood in the sun for a while ... when we came to leave I naturally switched on the cooling, nothing happened, we made a 20 mile journey home, and never once got cold air through. Monday morning I had a couple of journeys to make and expected to be passing the FIAT dealer, so intended to call in and have things checked out, luckily I tried the aircon beforehand and found it was working fine , I ducked on the call at the dealers ... saved me from looking a right berk. Later I did some temperature checks with a thermometer stuck in the dash airvents, with air from outside and no aircon running, temp showed about + 75°F , with aircon running and recirculating body air temp very quickly dropped to 44°F... very good. Latest is this morning I took my family to town, and dropped them ... aircon working fine on the inward journey, engine was stopped while passengers were dropped, no cold air at all coming through on the way home ... On arrival home I found the compressor not running. Obviously I need to go back to the dealer, but could do with some input ... Ideas anyone ???.
