As the garage i usually use do not work on a/c units ,i have booked my pug
in at another local garage that do,they are going to fit the compressor that i
bought some time ago , test and re gas it for £155. I have never used them before
so am keeping fingers crossed i dont have any of the bad experiences mentioned
on here recently. (all of this is subject to main stealers recieving seals and pressure
sensor on time )

You'll be fine Puggy, after all there's not much left that you haven't replaced now

Bet you can't wait for that superb a/c now

I still sayte 406's a/c is THE best I've experienced

very true welly, i have envied you lucky one's with working ac
and the odd times it did work it was an excellent system.
So hopefully soon sweaty bollocks will be a thing of the past

I'm with you there Puggy, it's horrible when you turn start the engine and get blasted with hot air as it tries to cool the cabin!

Well got the car back fitted with new compressor and pressure sensor
and ac is working a treat yippeeee been vacum tested and everything
and am told is fine, one thing we found ,the old pressure sensor had been
leaking where the electical contacts fit into the top of the sensor
wonder how many times has that been responsible for no gas in people's ac

ironic leak

Glad you've got your ac working though. Shame you missed summer though, all week of it...

That is cool Puggy (pardon the pun).

And interesting too about the sensor leaking (be worth bearing in mind for any future a/c threads).

The next two weeks are forecast to be cooler but you've still got Aug, Sept and Oct which will all require the a/c in one form or another

What's it cost you in all?

well its very nearly 2yrs since i bought the car and over those 2yrs
everything,apart from the evaporator in the dash, has been changed
to try and cure it The cost is around £745 that includes everything,
even the several re gasses would have been more but i managed several
months ago to buy a brand new pug compressor off ebay for £95 instead of
the main stealer price of £600.
I truly believe if the so called experts had found the leak in the pressure sensor
and not overfilled it just so it would work and they could take my money it
would have cost nowhere near this,the incompetent fookin robbing twats

WOW!!!! I bet you had your nose glued to the monitor that week

If it's any help I spent £900.00 on the FTO's a/c then crashed it and £500.00 on the Honda's then sold it

The thing is - if it's got a/c then it MUST work! well it has for me anyway. One thing I have learnt though is that 7/8 years is about your lot before disaster strikes (unless you own a D8 of course, those things have excellent a/c systems).

Totally agree with you welly,couple of friends have said i must be
mad to spend that on the ac,but i am with you , if its there its got to
work ,it was one of the things i looked for when i bought the car.

I still say the 406's a/c is THE best I've experienced [/quote]

Totally agree

Condensor was how much from the steeler I paid £125 that included fitting and a regas. Just think your self lucky if you had a lexus you have to buy from a main steeler at the cost of over £1000's Pugs are cheap for somethings

In total my a/c owes me around £300 in total which includes the pipework and condensor. Had a new ecu for the climate/ac but that was done under warrranty god knows how much that would of cost. Pleased you now have your chilled pug back its cool

Cheers rap ah the luxury of no more sweaty bollocks and a highly
efficient de-mist system

the offending part that has eluded the so called experts for 2yrs !!!!



and where it has been leaking from

Pressure sensor? How does that work? I can't see any retaining mechanism..
