Hi and welcome - we really need the fault codes. The warnings do not provide a definitive reason - only that the Airbag ECU has detected a fault on the self-check. You need to have it read with Lexia / Diagbox and put up the fault codes along with your VIN here for assistance.

No disrespect, but is it fan module or control panel coms fault? Either could do it.
Ok, if you actually have a code and it says coms fault, I would go with that.

Yes, if the outside temp sensor is not working, that can screw up the auto A/C.

90% of A/C failures are caused by leaks.
The A/C system is charged with a small amount of oil, to lubricate the compressor. When you get a leak in the system some of the oil may come out with the refrigerant. Typically, dirt then sticks to the oil.
So the first thing to do is to go over every inch of the A/C system looking for these oily...

Hi!
I have a recently acquired 2014 5008 1.6Hdi. I had come to the conclusion that this had R1234YF refrigerant in it. I now have my doubts. I cannot get a low side coupler to fit, designed for R1234YF, and I understand these ARE a different size to R134a fittings. Has the place I got my info for type of refrigerant lead me astray?
Thanks.
Phil

Last post

Quite possible. I've replied to your PM.

The 5008 could have been fitted with either type of refrigerant, but as I mentioned, the connectors should only accept the fittings for the correct type when it's being recharged or serviced.

Also, I highly suggest you don't add any 'leak sealant' into the system. These things work by seeking out air and...

Peugeot 308SW T7 - are these sensor values normal?

by icu12345 » 28 May 2022, 13:05

First post

So I've got a 2010 Peugeot 308 T7 and the A/C stopped working. The compressor doesn't kick in. The system must be full of refrigerant because I had it serviced two weeks ago and there are no visible signs of leaks (the a/c oil has a UV dye in it but I couldn't identify any leaks).

I noticed the following very peculiar live data:...

Last post

Thank you for the insight. I must've missed the low pressure safety . However, as if missing the line in the live data wasn't embarrassing enough, I can't seem to locate a sensor on the low pressure line. There is one 3-wire-sensor on the thinner line but this must be the high pressure switch. So where should I look for the low pressure sensor and...

Hi all,

If it's the dehydrator pressure switch, then it will be on the condenser radiator lower side (left I think).

Citroen C5 2010 Air Con Problem

Hello Guys,

Hope some of the bright minds here can help with a air con problem on my 2010 C5.
So far I have had a friend try to diagnose the problem without much luck so far.

When switching on the AC, the AC light comes on, but the air blowing into the car does not get cold.
The clutch on the compressor never engages, hence the compressor does...

Last post

Get the A/C system properly checked for leaks./ It may need re-gassing or you may have a leak. Either way a proper A/C specialist should be able to fully test for leaks and pressure test the system for you.

Not sure it is my issue as I measured the compressor coil at 40 MOhms but definitely worth a check. I think it might have been you that posted that fix for the fusebox a while back. That was a Godsend.

Citroen C5 X7 - Evaporator or Condenser?

Hi!

I was (sadly) in this section about a year ago... No AC on my 2008 2.0i C5 X7 when I purchased it. Thanks to the help of the forum, I found that a pipe was broken (the classic one) and changed it. Then, the car got an AC regas, and it lasted....few days.

Back on this, thanks to the weather...

As it works during few days, and the pipes out...

Last post

You may well have a leak from the evaporator box. When they test for leaks, they should either use a 'sniffer' tool to detect the refrigerant for leaks or a UV light if the system has had some dye added to show leaks.

Grand Picasso c4 aircon leak

Last post

Leaks can be notoriously hard to find and not always in the obvious places.

You may have a leak in or near the evaporator box inside the dash. There are probes with UV lights or 'sniffers' that can be used to better detect any leaks from these areas.

Having said that, it took the main dealer 4 attempts on 4 separate visits after recharging to...

Just thought I would update the thread.
It has been 15 months since I made this repair and the A/C is still working well (touch wood).

On your passenger compartment fuse box, there is a SHUNT fuse, used when the vehicle will parked up and not used for longer periods - it shuts off some of the electrical system to conserve battery power. Check your manual for the position settings, but is should be shunted to CUSTOMER position.

Air con always on (xantia year 2000)

by howzat » 08 Mar 2007, 22:41

First post

My problem is that the compressor engages with air con switch off. This causes fans to operate. Switching on the system lights the indicator in the switch. Unplugging the compressor disengages it. I need a wiring diagram of the system and location of the various relays. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Last post

Isn't that what air con does. Remove water from the air and dry it.. Hence its use as a demister.. The water is what has been removed from the air and is deposited from an outlet pipe..

Hello,

I relaced the coil, refilled the gas. It...

The motors are simple stepper motors and these (depending on type of climate control or A/C fitted) will control the Air Distribution and Air Mixing functions. They do not have individual ECU in them, so need no coding to the vehicle.
