Technical Air-Con

[doblo]

I have just had my air-con recharged for £35. While going out yesterday the wife noticed that while the air-con was on, water was dripping into the front passenger footwell.
I presume a drain pipe is blocked somewhere. Anyone know the answer please?

This happened to me - without the recharging...

First they tried re-routing/unsquishing (don't yer just luv the tech jargon) the pipe. Then, when this didn't work, they got a new pipe and fitted that.

Sorted!

Ooh - er...??

Sorry I'm a Dutch guy but what do you mean by recharging your air con? Filter replacement?

No, Air-Con uses the same technology as a fridge, it uses a CFC Gas that flows round in the system to cool it much like a fridge. This can sometimes need re-charging to the right pressure to maintain optimum output for the unit.

OK.
learned something new! Thanks. I still can turn my Doblo into a fridge so nothing wrong there.
