There have been two occasions recently when the temperature here in Surrey, UK, rose to the high 20s. On both days the aircon in our Fiat Ulysse (A C8 / Peugeot 807 under the skin) stopped working. Otherwise it works beautifully on cooler days. Is there a sensor I don't know about?

Recon compressor?

H guys. I'm looking for a replacement compressor for my Xantia. The new ones are far to expensive and the second hand ones not tested, so I'd like a recon one. But I have tried several places on the net and they no longer have them. I guess that Fred is just too old! Anyone know of someone who might have one?

Many thanks.

Mine produces a lot of condensate, and it's well-serviced. The Xantia AC drain spigot is in the passenger footwell, it passes out the firewall sort of above the anti-roll bar clamp into a rubber elbow. Near the hydraulic pressure drop detector on RHD cars.

I've seen the elbow poorly fitted from factory, causing it to not drain properly.

Hi All,

Can somebody tell me the difference between these delphi compressors.

No 1135290 and No 1135463.

It would appear my compressor is leaking from the drive shaft seal.

Any thoughts.

Kenny

Last post

Hi All,

I've been talking to the tec's at Delphi and the only difference between the 2 pumps is the size of the pulley.

119mm v 121mm which I think means they are interchangeable.

I would have 1 reservation which is check the a/c pipe connection is the same before hand.

Peugeot 504 - retrofitting air-con?

What are the practicalities of fitting air conditioning to my 1973 Peugeot 504? It's a GL automatic. Some sold into hot climates were so equipped, and there's plenty of space in the engine bay.

Last post

I'd suggest its water too, we used to get a lot of people come back with their first car with A/C (especially in hot weather) as they thought it was leaking.

A drip drip of water (assuming it is water, and not coolant) is normal as the moisture is taken out of the conditioned air and it has to go somewhere, usually a drain pipe fitted underneath.

Hi all, I have an annoying fault with my aircon, ren laguna 1.9dci initiale 53 plate. It works fine until I have to rev the engine past 2200 or so rpm (about 80-82 mph). It seems like the compressor does not want to function at this engine speed and beyond.
The only way I can get the compressor to re-engage is to push the cluth in so the revs drop...

C3 Aircon not working

by Sl4yer » 12 Jun 2010, 16:52

First post

Well, it didn't take long did it? :roll:

Only had it for 2 weeks, and the aircon isn't working. It appears (from Lexia) to be cutting out after a few seconds operation due to a High Pressure safety alarm. Does anyone know what would cause this?

Thanks,

James

Got the same problem with my c3! The temp gauge shoots to max and an alarm sounds, my rad fan does not kick in ( there is just the one? ) and there is a hissing noise when the air con is turned on. Did you get yours working again?

Replace or reseal compressor?

by Xaccers » 09 Aug 2010, 16:13

First post

Cassy's had aircon trouble before I met her, with a green dye already present in her gas.
Had her re-gassed about two years ago and no leaks were found, but she's been slowly losing gas since then, with larger bubbles appearing in the sightglass, with it barely cooling in recent weeks.
Had her steam cleaned last weekend and since then the...

Last post

All sorted and didn't cost a penny, just a trip to Jim's :)

Shorting pins 1 and 2 (the two fat wires) as a test didn't get a result on the compressor, so working with Jim and his circuit diagrams we found the cause of no life at the compressor.

We've swapped the fuel pump for an older fully mechanical pump, so the K light is perminantly on as...

Condensor & Radiator fans not running - C5 HDi

by amjake » 23 Jul 2010, 21:41

First post

All relays changed, fuses tested and checked, crud wiring changed.

Engine running the aircon is working but the Condensor fan and Radiator fan are not.

Testing both fans show them to be working.

So any suggestions as to why they don't run when engine and aircon running and a solution would be appreciated.

Cheers

Kevin

Last post

Aircon now working perfectly!

Fault was down to more crud wiring, replaced and job done!

replacing the pump

by citrov6 » 20 Jul 2010, 10:39

First post

The clutch went on the pump, so I have a replacement pump now from a similar car with the same specification if different year. I'm intending to bolt this one into place, hoping it is that simple. I have had it degassed, hopefully replacing it today since I have the day.

I am now wondering what the torque settings for the unions and to bolt it to...

Last post

Thanks for that, unfortunately I missed your post and got them from citroen.

Yet to torque up the pipes, I don't want to damage them incase they are just hand tightened like the hydraulic ones

Replacing Xantia Harisson compressor

by lazza » 20 Jul 2010, 13:07

First post

Hi Forum

I'm about to change the aircon compressor on my Citroen Xantia. I seem to remember hearing that i should change the dryer at the same time??

My general question is: What should I change aswell as the compressor?

Thanks very much

Larry

Last post

Hi Larry,

Sorry I can't be of more help as I have little to no experience of A/C systems other than common knowledge.

What I can say is that compressor came from a filled system (on removal I accidentally punctured the condensor and the gas leaked out) and in my care, have not noticed any oil seepage from the compressor so, hopefully, there's...

xantia AC leak

hi all, sorry if this has sort of been asked before :roll:

I have put my first ever car into kwikfit for an AC test (the other half did really).. it leaks, unknown source :twisted:
I have never worked on AC ..

I can say that during my engine out/in summer 2008 I would have disconnected the compressor, and also due to a slight altercation later...

Last post

If you are in the area of these guys , I used them a few years ago for what could have been a very expensive job (recomissioning the A/C on my E-type which had not been used for 20 years). Their pricing was transparent and reasonable. They were simply very good to deal with.

Regassed my Xantia, and it worked.. Briefly

Hi folks.

I found a leak on my Xantia AC and got it fixed. I changed the dryer unit as well, knowing the system had been 'open' for a few months so I thought it was a good precautionary measure. I then took the car to Kwik Fit to get it regassed, knowing that if it leaked again I wouldn't get charged.

Anyway I got it regassed, and it worked for...

Last post

Yes sorry, I meant to say that it was the low pressure pipe! Where am I best looking for a replacement pipe? I was thinking of a scrappers but it's surprisingly difficult to find this pipe, which is pretty annoying.

The compressor is attached to the sump on my car, I know the high pressure suspension/steering pump sometimes attaches here on...

Harrison Compressor

by lazza » 28 Jun 2010, 16:23

Hi Forum

Can anyone advise me on what i should do with my Harisson compressor (Citroen Xantia Turbo diesel) that was leaking from where the two halves meet? It now is too bad to fill the sytem, so the A/C is kaput.

Are the seals replaceable?

or should I just replace the compressor?

Thanks

Scenic compressor stuffed?

by demag » 16 Apr 2010, 01:26

First post

54 1.5dci Scenic. When I hit the a/c switch there is a little click (relay?) and nothing else. Revs don't drop and temperature stays the same. Assuming French a/c is fairly similar does anyone have a clue where to start as all my other a/c cars worked? :(

Last post

Further Update!

Had it regassed at Kwik Fit! :shock: and it now works. 49 quid all in. :)

Hi all,
I decided to try re-gassing my Aircon on my Xantia. Went to Halfords and looked at their options.
I decided to get the refill kit, £39 inc free aircon system cleaner kit that cleans the car inside of bacteria. Did the job in less than ten minutes. Car now a lot cooler, smells 100% cleaner and I now have the pressure gauge needed to...

Remember, in the cooler months, KwikFit only charge £25 for their regas.

Hi,

I got the air con regassed on my 2003 Mégane in May last year by Kwik Fit. It's been used regularly as it automatically comes on with the demisting programme so was on quite a bit in winter. But now that the weather has got hot, it's hopeless. There is no difference with the AC on or off. I can hear it kicking in, but the air is not cold!

Last post

Thanks for advice so far, unfortunately I have very little experience when it comes to AC systems so wouldn't know where to look.

OK so today was warm. I put it to the coldest and blew the fan, pressed the AC button, but I noticed no change in engine tone or any noise, it didn't look as if the AC is kicking in at all now. But the air was cold,...

Having been very pleased that my my air con was gassed and worked I thought i would test it today, and found it to be very lacklustre.
I noticed a small amount of bright green fluid leaking from the sensor on the drier bottle :(

Also inside the drier bottle (through the sight glass ) it was bubling green.

I guess this means a new drier and...

Got it done for free, and its now blowing properly cold!
Just replaced the drier and pressure sensor and all is now good.
For how long though remains to be seen!
