Air conditioning compressor not working
Hi,
The air conditioning on my c30 T5 isn’t working at all. I’ve had a local mobile air conditioning guy come out and look. He has stated that the system still has gas in it but the compressor isn’t kicking in at all. He said he linked out the relay in the engine compartment but the compressor still didn’t kick in. He said he wasn’t able to diagnose anything further because the car would need to be on a ramp to access the compressor. I had air conditioning issues for a couple of years where it would stop blowing cold after about 30 mins. Looking on the forum it looks like the compressor clutch gap could have been the issue? Last September the timing and auxiliary belts failed and I had to have a recon cylinder head fitted. Is it possible that when the belt’s failed it destroyed the compressor?? Or could it be that the compressor clutch has worn so much that it isn’t kicking in at all? Is re-shimming of the compressor clutch something that a garage or air con specialist would carry out or is it a diy thing only? |
