Air con pump?

[dcox1111]

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the Air con pump on my 2.0Hdi (D9)?

The nice warm weather of the last couple of days has shown my air con not to be working . I can't hear any noise or change in engine note when I turn it on and when it is on auto it certainly isn't getting cold.

Has anyone got any experience of common problems?

Thanks

On the left hand side of engine(looking under the bonnet)below the aux belts,mounted on the bottom of the block/sump.
Mine does not really cause any difference in engine note,but i can hear it cycling on & off.
It may just need a re gas if everything else is ok.Unless something else is wrong,which could be £££`s to put right.

As above , have it tested for leaks before it is re gassed , common for the
condensor to go around the 7yr mark . Hopefully all will be ok if not as has already
been said can cost a lot of money , cost me in the region of £800

Touch wood,mine is still going strong after 6 & a half years,all original.I do use it all year round,so its lasted well.
My previous Xantia estate had a re gas & condensor soon after i got it,then another re gas 3 years later as it packed up.
If it is just a re gas,prices vary around Bristol,between £60-100.Most places will test the system for free.But i would avoid the fast fit tyre places etc,& take it to a specalist.In my experience,the specalists deal with A/C day in & out,& know so much more about it than a fast fit center,no matter how the price looks.
