vivadave Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Good luck with your venture Chops.... Thinking about about you can come and fix mine, bought a 2001 Corsa with air con and it doesnt work, it has two buttons for the air-con, one for the air circulation and one for the air con it self, the air circulation lights up when you push it and the motor kicks in, but the aircon button doesnt light up and nothing happends, the fuse is fine, i checked that.... Any idea's???? Vivadave169.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea's???? Vivadave169.... when you say the motor kicks in do you mean the fan in the car? or can you hear the compressor kick in? you should hear a slight change in engine noise also when it kicks in. the compressor wont kick in if its to low on gas, or the gap between the magnetic clutch has become to big. but i would think the light would still light up, it maybe the switch.... without being there to test it there isnt much i can really do... have a look at the compressor while the engine is running and the aircon on, and look to see if the centre of the pulley is spinning..? Vivadave, sounds like you want re-gassing Is this the air-con discussion thread then? good idea.... Edited June 29, 2006 by chops660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivadave Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks for your replys.... This pic isnt my car but explains in more detail.... Not sure where to look on my car for the things you mentioned.... Cheers.... Vivadave169.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops660 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Not sure where to look on my car for the things you mentioned..... Vivadave169.... under the bonnet ... sounds although it could be electrical. im pretty sure the light would still light up even though it was short on gas, but not 100% without being able to stick the gauges on it. the recycle button will just be moving flaps about etc, to recycle the air in the car, thats the noises you will hear. the aircon should work with this on or off. The compressor is number 1 in the pic, you will see two pipes coming out of it. (not the power steering pump!!!) but by what you are saying i can asume that the center will not be turning. You can spike the compressor with a positive source to see if it will clutch in. cheers chops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivadave Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I checked the bits and pieces you mentioned and the compressor is working fine, after what you have said it looks like it needs re-gasing, as when air-con is on, the air coming out is warm enough to toast marsh mallows lol What sort of cost am i looking at to get it re-gassed? The car is a (Y Reg) Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 Elegance Manual (5 Door) Cheers for all your help.... Vivadave169.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few mobile guys out there.
