Thread: Aircon Problem

Hi everyone.

I have a 300tdi just so you know and can help me.

So, after getting stuck in a big muddy bog my A/C has broken, initially some mist stuff started blowing out of the vents for a few hours which went away and after a few days it just died.

Me and some mechanic mates have had a look around on it and the compressor's clutch isn't engaging, the plug thats on the left hand side of the A/C compressor doesn't get any power to it, on the occasions we have checked it.

I've looked at all the relevent fuses I can find and a blown one.

The main question is, where is the A/C relay? If there is one.
Also if anyones had something similar happen or has any ideas let me know.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Goots

In the event you have lost the gas charge, the HP/LP safeties prevent operation when the gas charge is too low or of the system runs at too higher discharge pressure, be careful bridging out the safeties, if there is no refrigerant and you run it for too long it will run into a vacuum and draw in air and moisture causing more grief than you already have.

If the system runs too higher discharge due to say a blocked condenser, you stand the risk of a hose bursting, best bet is to bridge them and check operation with out engine running, your mechanic mates should be able to sort this, if this proves a safety control has operated get an Auto AC mechanic to look at it
