Hello this is my 1st post, and I help someone can help. I have a 405 GLX Estate on an M plate. The A/C has never worked and now the warmer weather is making an appearance I'm keen to find out whats wrong. Armed with a Haynes manual I,ve made the following observations:-
1. When the A/C button is pressed the light illuminates, and a fan whirs into action (temp set to cold and fan speed is off).
2. There appears to be no apparent change in temperature.
3. All engine bay electrical connections have been removed and re-connected.
4.Inspecting the dryer bottle, there are no problems with refrigerant flow (no bubbles in sight window)The humidity sight glass is cloudy white in colour.
Thats all I know so far. based on how much people charge to diagnose problems in A/C systems, I'm trying to work through obvious problems first.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Regards Tony
