Hello Folks,
Just bought a Panda 100hp as a run around then discovered the pistonheads article which is the actual car I have bought. ( wont let me link)
Great little car especially on the back roads where its a hoot. Coming from a Fiesta ST2 the plan is for cheap no hassle motoring as the car has had all major jobs done but find myself wanting to sort a few things.
A good clean and change of the mouldy pollen filter has improved the aroma in the car massively but it would appear the air con is not working.
Few questions. Will start with a re-gas but it would appear the compressor is not working. The wheel on the compressor outside of the pulley wheel I can turn by hand is this normal. Even when on it does not spin. There is no voltage on the plug to the compressor but fuses/ relay are ok. Does anyone have any wiring diagrams for the car?
Throttle response is quite jerky but linear and in sport mode is like an off switch. Is it normal ?
Back of the car feels very lively if you hit bumps mid bend which is very unsettling. Not sure if its just because the car is so firm, any experience?
Do you wave at fellow Panda drivers? :slayer:
