Air con problem please help !

Postby smoothandy66 » Mon Jul 16, 2012 8:16 pm

Hi Guys , just joined...
I love my Fto i had it 6 years now with no real problems and every time i drive it it just ooozes a thing of beauty .
I have however recently been trying to get the air con fixed as it is the only thing that has never really worked properly on the car.
I had it re gassed today but i can only feel cool ac air coming through the vents when the engines revving above around 3500 rpm
The fan is coming on and i can hear and feel the clutch cutting in when i switch the air con button on on the dash.
Any ideas guys? im really struggling here and desperatly want it working...spent 15 hours on it over the weekend sprucing it up and i think it really deserves to have this fixed..i just need some help !!!
cheers guys

Andy

Welcome along andy. i'm afraid I have no idea there, but someone else will come along with a few suggestions. I would say check the fuses and be sure the right one is in place. I noticed a 10 where a 15 should have been in the gr i had.

Why did it take 6 years to post? Put up some pics.

It could be leaking, if I were you I'd bring it back to where you got it regassed.
They can run dye through the system and spot if/where there's a problem.
