Hi All. My air con hasn't worked for some time and i'm looking to get it fixed or at least get an idea of how much it's going to cost.
The light comes on but there's no noticeable change in the temperature or power so I don't think anything is happening.
I've checked and can see the belt/pulley (?) spinning but the clutch isn't doing anything.
I've tried swapping a few of the relays with the horn relay (there's a couple with air con type symbols) and still nothing so I'm guessing it's actually an issue with the compressor.
Is there anything else that would stop it engaging e.g. if it was out of the gas? or anything else i can check?
I'm not too sure if it's ever actually worked as i don;t drive it that often and coming from a previous car with no working heating/fan any kind of fan was an upgrade so i've never really thought to use it.
I did have it re-gassed a few years back and i vaguely recall it was colder for a bit so im wondering if there's a leak. But would that stop the clutch engaging now?
I just want a rough idea of what i can check as I'm unlikely to pay for it if it's gonna be a big bill as i've managed without for all this time.
