Sorry to hear that :x cars dont you just love em. Its the worst prob i have had on my pug. One problem opened up a bag of worms. Touch wood plus all the money spent it working a treat now. First the ecu for the climate packed up. Covered under warranty plus cat went covered under warranty. A year p...

If there are no legal issues with tinting the rear windows/windshield, I'll be doing mine up next month. I've always had tints on my cars back home, since it's so sunny and hot in India. Tends to help the aircon with cooling down the interior. Besides if you keep the transparency level up, the cops ...

Yeah well, I'm currently waiting for a bank loan to get my aircon sorted. The local garage said it needed a new pipe & regassing. Left the car overnight, they got back to me today saying the condensor needs replacement as well 'cause a piece of the pipe is corroded into it. Would you believe it, @ 3...

It's push button, so I guess the vent would be operated by a motor then. But since it hasn't played up for a few days, I'll leave it till it does. Cheers!

The only time recirc is usefull is in extreme heat when the a/c is trying to cool the cabin but it's pulling in air at something like 30 deg C from outside - then it can help to run recirc but only if the cabin is already cooler than outside and then you should only run it for a short time as the a...

Which would mean another half-day off work! Oh, well. I'll let it run as it is until the next time the sound comes back.....

Does that mean the 406 was never equipped with auto headlamps? I recollect reading somewhere that newer cars have them or was that auto wipers?

Hello & welcome to 406oc. I'm sure you'lll have lotsa fun with your new ride.

Hmm...56 views & 5 replies. There are quite a few ghosts around here, eh? And that's not my post alone I'm referring to.....

Sounds like it could well be one of the motors for the vents. I'd take the pollen filter out and see if the recirc flap is moving correctly. It's not an uncommon failure... Brilliant! That's nailed it. I swithced on the fresh air switch for a while...no noise. I switched it back to recirculating fo...

A strange sound has started coming for the left side of my car's dash. This started 2 days ago with no sign of stopping. It sounds suspiciously like an electrical relay sound, which starts every time I turn the ignition on & last for 10-15 secs. The frequency of the noise increases if I start the ca...
