As i was sat in traffic and turning the climate control down because it was getting a bit too chilly, it thought "i'm glad my a/c works or this would be really bad" :lol: Hello martin, hello frankie and anyone else who's a/c aint working :hilarious Why can't you edit the title? i missed out the "you" lol
aint even got it in my truck lol
Whats air con?
[QUOTE=t5frankie;527064]aint even got it in my truck lol[/QUOTE] Thats bad, all day driving your truck without a/c then you get into a car where it doesn't work.
The A/C in both the Volvos works great, unfortunately I'm still driving the Cougar with non operating A/C. I wish I'd changed the evaporator when I had the chance. :wallbash::wallbash:

thats what windows are for..:rotfl:

My golf's A/C is wondeful.. Need to look at the V70 sometime..
mondeos a/c works great, but someons nicked the pump off the volvo
[QUOTE=claymore;527086]mondeos a/c works great, but someons nicked the pump off the volvo[/QUOTE] I wonder who did that?? Theres a different kind of compressor in it now. lol

I have no a/c in my old school bus, but it cools really quickly once a couple of windows are opened, something that never worked well in the 850 for some reason :S [QUOTE=LiamT4;527061]Why can't you edit the title? i missed out the "you" lol[/QUOTE] Sorted for you bud ;)

Having a full black leather interior means that if i didn't have good a/c then i probably cook to death. lol

But with the floor vents in the front and back, vents in the b pillars and 4 vents in the dash, it doesnt take long to turn it into a 1.7ton fridge. :finger: ;)
My A/C is kanckered, couldn't get it to recharge at Kwikfit du eto some reason or other. Not lookingf forward to the drive back from Heathrow nwxt week if the weather stays hot! I could just open the windows and turn the bass up and pump all the hot air out instead though!
[QUOTE=LiamT4;527074]Only people who don't have a/c say that :wink:[/QUOTE] Aircon I possess... The refrigerant I do not!!!! (And yes,found this out this week....). Lol
Bonny's the first car i've had with aircon, & that stopped working last year. Not exactly upto Hawai temperatures so not in a rush to get it regassed
Oh......and black leather... That's my seats skin grafted then!!! Lol
[QUOTE=local-looney;527144]Oh......and black leather... That's my seats skin grafted then!!! Lol[/QUOTE] my old Suzuki jeep had red vinyl seats, leaving the roof off while out in the sun really wasn't a good idea when you tried to sit back down lol
No A/C in either of my cars, but thankfully I walk to work, and have no need to drive anywhere untill next week. By which time, it'll be winter again; cold and rainy. No problems here :)

Never use it - I like the wind in my scalp.
went to charge mine up today and there is a leak somewhere in the system so not looking forward to driving around spain with 5 hot kids and a moody missus lol

I'm in Marrakech for next 2 weeks today was 103oC Tuesday it's 112oC but my air con in my range rover works a treat...

air con gives me headache's, i wouldn't use it if it did work :)
Suck up the heat you pussys lol
[QUOTE=LiamT4;527061]As i was sat in traffic and turning the climate control down because it was getting a bit too chilly, it thought "i'm glad my a/c works or this would be really bad" Or you could just open the window a little bit.
[QUOTE=smithy;527756]Suck up the heat you pussys lol[/QUOTE] Why sweat in the heat when you can be nice and cool. At avon last weak when people were pushing there cars down the fire up lane and sweating there b*ll*cks off, i just got in the car did up the windows and turned the a/c on, i wasn't hot at all. lol [QUOTE=Harvey;527759]Or you could just open the window a little bit.[/QUOTE] Why do that when you can just adjust it by a couple of degrees.

I miss my air con out of the Volvo, why did I buy an old Golf? :sorry:
Just had the lorry regassed as the aircon couldn't cope the other week in Italy where it was 38 degrees and this week in Marseille it was perfect. Kept the truck lovely and cool. As for the 'R', 30 mins on blue an I get the start of icicles forming on my air vents. Those that suffer headaches from air con, blow the air onto the windscreen then it won't have the same effect but it'll keep the car cool and shouldn't cause headaches
Getting my air con regassed next week as guy I see at the workshops will do it as its not been looked at that I know ,still working spot on but he says most aircon systems will approx 10% per year would be rude to say no ,as the car is 6 years old.
A quick tip for everyone who is having their aircon regassed........the refrigerant recovery units that most air con places use will vacuum the system for a pre-set time, lets say 20 minutes. During this 20 minutes the machine will create a nice strong vacuum which can help determine whether there is a leak, just as important though - it boils off any moisture that's in the system. My advise is to request that this 20 minute vacuum is increased to 35-40 minutes. The shorter the vacuum period, the greater chance that moisture will remain in the system, when moisture is mixed with refrigerant it becomes acidic and will eat away at the ac components. Most ac guys will do a pre-check to see if the air con is working, if it's working but not as efficient as it should be, they know that there is still a certain amount of refrigerant and the system is leak free. Some will then do the shortest vacuum time they can get away with - 10 minutes or so, this allows sufficient vacuum to be created in order to 'suck' in the refrigerant BUT NOT enough time to eliminate any moisture. Always ask how long they will vacuum the system for.....the longer the better.
