Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

306 condensor replacement

From reading previous threads it appears some have replaced condensors. Could someone who has done this or knows how, advise whether any special tools are needed.

Which valve on 406 GLX????

Hello,
Me n mate are gonna try refilling my aircon via the dodgy looking refill aerosols as my system has a leak - but is too shot to be fixed for a reasonable price so trying this as it has a sealent in it.
Question is, which valve is it that I need to use to fill the refrigerant into the system because I have 3 identical looking bleed valves...

Hmm, might not be the same on the 406, but on my 405, there are two valves - one bigger than the other, right up on the bulkhead with big plastic caps on..

The filler pipe will only fit on one ( the smaller one ).

If it was an R-12 system and the amount was shown on the plate, you can work on that less 10% when converted to R134a.

Most systems are around that figure and it's easy to see if it's overcharged as the frost line starts to creep down the return line towards the...

Hi, I recently bought a 2003 Clio dci80 with climate control. However the aircon side doesn't work. It regulates the temp inside up and down on it's own happyly but the A/C doesn't kick in. I've had the gas checked and it is o.k. there is no sound of the clutch engaging when the A/C button is pressed.
Any clues?? I don't want to involve the...

Recharging?

by Kowalski » 27 Apr 2005, 03:04

First post

Recharging should only be done when your air con system is low on gas, or if it works poorly, if there are no leaks, no gas can escape and it shouldn't need any maintenance.

Last post

Hi,
How often should the Aircon sytem be recharged if there seem to be no visible problems and the system works ok?
I have found someone who can recharge the sytem for about £45 and his garage is recommended by a colleague from work.
Thanks,

Xantia A/C

First post

Timbo, welcome to the forum
Yup mines the same, but I think it is just coincidence, rev counter sensor goes open circuit once it is warmed up.
The air con problem is possibly related to the cooling fan problems covered in other threads, to check the fans are working, turn ignition on and then disconnect the brown sensor on the thermostat housing,...

hi guys, here's a tricky one I can't figure out.
97 Xantia 1.9TD with A/C
On cold startup A/C work fine, gets real cold.
When normal operating temp reached, the A/C stops completely, ie the clutch disengages.
I have had prev problems with the ignition switch, but seems fine now. The weird thing is, the rev counter starts and stops at the same...

306 A/C Noise from behind dash

by np » 24 Apr 2005, 01:22

First post

The compressor is under the bonnet.Not sure about the noise.
A/CON usally needs a regass every 3-5 yrs.I had mine done 3 yrs ago now,but it still works 100%.I presume you would have a pollen/cabin filter?Has that ever been changed?It needs replacing at every service.It can become quite blocked up,reducing a/c output.Mine usally tends to not work...

Last post

Hi,
Yesterday my 306 started making a quite nasty noise from behind the passenger side of the dash when the aircon is switched on. It sounds like a dry-rubbing metal-on-metal kinda sound which is making me nervous!
In the interest of experimentation, I left the aircon on for my 10 minute journey from home and it appears to be working albeit not...

Kowalski, if you put the suspension on high and look in through the drivers side wheel arch, you will be able to see the pulley on the end of the compressor, there is a clutch unit on it so if the centre is stationary the compressor is not running, check the wiring to the clutch (connector at Opp end of compressor), as far as I know the clutch is...

Does anyone have the wiring diagram to show how the blower controls, temperature setting and A/C button are linked.
I currently have none working, no power going to that part of the consol.
If not any ideas what the problem maybe. All the fuses have been checked. Everything else in the car is working.
I have a 99 (T) Peug 306 Dturbo.

Aircon hose

by alan s » 11 Mar 2005, 17:40

First post

Here you go James.
As an addition to the hose supplies, here's the fittings crimper.
There are hydraulic as well as hand operated ones here.
For the DIYer I'd expect the hand one would be a goer.

FWIW, buying one of these as an investment particularly if a club were to do it, is more practical than it may at first seem. I know a guy over here...

I have posted a load of links in the useful link section on where to source aircon hose and connectors.

c5 climate control

by hswift » 29 Apr 2005, 13:38

First post

Just above the ashtray you'll see some horizontal slots covering an area the size of a small coin. Shine a torch in there and you'll see a small fan that should spin when the engine is running. I think this might be what you're looking for. The whole thing is in a green unit that looks as though it can be pulled down if you remove the ashtray....

just bought a c5 2.0 hdi, and have noticed that i'm either too bloomin hot at 28, or freezin no matter what it says on the display below this. I assume there is a thermostat somewhere in the cabin, anyone know where it is?

XM Aircon

by Richard Gallagher » 01 Mar 2005, 03:05

First post

If it has been sitting for years unused then the gas has more than likely escaped through dried up seals. It may work if the system is recharged, it all depends on how the seals are really.

Last post

When i turn the A/C on in my XM, nothing happens, i've had a look under the bonnet, and the electronic clutch isn't moving at all when you press the button. Could this be just because it's been sitting for a few years and needs a recharge? or is it likely to be more serious?
Thanks
David.

How do I know it's working?

Gareth,
Air/con is operated by a compressor and is refrigerated. The heater will operate like any normal heater. Usually if a car has basic air/con, it will have a blue section on the heat control. The knob needs to be pointing at this for the air/con to work. It usually also has a seperate control for the temp of the air/con beit a knob or in...

Hi, I recently purchased a Picasso with the basic A/C not Climate control. I've never had A/C before so I don't know if it's working?
The ambient air is really cold at the moment, so I can't get a true feel for the cooling properties. And it doesn't say if the A/C system should heat, in the user manual. Should it??
I need an answer because the...

Something's definitely bottoms up there.
I haven't had cause to delve too far into the climate controls on these but obviously they have both hot and cold controls. I gather this from the sensation I sometimes get when I have the outside thermometer pointing at 38 - 40 degrees, feel it's set a bit too cold, reset the temp a couple of degrees and...

Front window need demisting

by alan s » 04 Feb 2005, 07:30

If you had air/con it would blow it off in seconds.
If not or if you turn the demisters on and it still fogs, chances are you could have a leak starting in the heater matrix.

BX Aircon refrigerant

by littleredrooster » 26 Jan 2005, 19:07

First post

As far as I understand, the newer AC installations are completely different to the older ones. Much higher pressure is involved, so the entire system would have to be changed.

Last post

I would welcome some information on the new type of refrigerant and what if any components might need to be changed from the current set up I have on my 92 BX 1.7TZD.
The compressor is u/s so that would be an initial invetsment but i believe that the need stuff runs at a much higher pressure so what else might need to be changed to get the aircon...
