General Dynamic - how to tell if it has aircon?

[marc4242]

My wife's Cinquecento sadly died recently (117k on the clock!), so we're looking for a 2004-2012 Panda with aircon. I think the standard Dynamic doesn't have aircon, but it was available as an option. When viewing a Dynamic, how can I tell if it does have aircon fitted?

Thanks
Marc

Hi - if it has aircon the fan speed control knob has a snowflake symbol in the middle which lights up when you push the knob in and this turns on the aircon compressor. If the knob is plain it does not have aircon. Some of the higher spec Pandas have ACC (automatic climate control) in which case all the knobs are replaced by push buttons and there are two digital temperature displays.

Thanks Jon. When I look just to the left of the 'star' symbol on the motor speed knob in your photo, it looks more like just an indentation than a light. Is the photo an example of what it looks like with or without aircon?

Thanks Stu, it's useful to know to push the knob in also.

From under the bonnet (if looks at cars on eBay etc) if it's <2008 with AC then it'll have the coolant expansion tank on the NS suspension turret, if it hasn't AC then it'll have the reservoir on the side of the rad
