conditioning

Guys - I'm aware that we have a few business owners and landlords on here. Hopefully the below might be of interest. PS - I'm a Surveyor I don't sell AC systems and have no vested interest! The Issue As most business operators and landlords seem unaware, there is a looming issue...

Hello all forum members, not sure if I've posted in the right place but I just wanted to share an excellent a/c engineer's services. My 1991 560SEL suffered the usual nonsense from the previous owner about the a/c just needing regassing to magically come to life again. Against my better...

When I first turn the Air Con on, it emits a rather unpleasant smell at first. The best way to describe the smell is you know when you were younger and you'd go to see a really old relative, well it's that smell...;) Will it be the Pollen filters?

Hi, I've got a 2002 W210 E-Class with the automatic air-conditioning. The air con was not working as it should and last week the EC light on the control panel would not switch off, checked manual and suggested to get air con re-gassed. Went to local Kwik-fit and they have done the job...

Would a 1997 air con compressor fit into my 1999? Mine is starting to become noisy and believe it's on its way out! (both cars w202).

Hi guys Just wondering if any W202 owners notice any condensate on the ground ? My past cars have left a definate trail of water from the aircon. Nothing in the footwells and no smells, so I guess it's going somewhere ! Cheers Chris

I'm looking for some advice on a 'click' that I have started to hear when I switch the ignition on. From inside the car it sounds like it's coming from behind the passenger side fascia/glove compartment. It only happens when you first switch on the ignition - it clicks about 6 or 7 times, then...

Can anyone help me, I am new to this forum. I have a W129 2000 SL 320. I have had a new alarm fitted to my car. When I got the car back the fan control is displaying but is frozen, none of the buttons are working. My local Merc specialist has looked at it and tried a new control panel which did...

My condensing boiler stops working every time it goes down to -10C (condensate drain pipe on outside wall freezing), I've been looking at pipe insulation from B&Q but have been told that it's not suitable for outside use and I require "closed cell insulation" like Armaflex, used on air...

Question please - I know that having aircon on obviously affects fuel consumption but does anyone know whether thats affected by how high you have it on? ie if the aircon is 'on', then its 'on' and the blowers just control how fast the cool air comes out, or does it use more fuel the higher...

I was just idly browsing through Autotrader, as you do, and came to wondering just how rare is it to find a nice 190 with air con. Strikes me there are some absolute corkers out there with low miles, few owners etc but I really consider functioning air con to be an absolute essential in a...

Does anyone have experience on one of these? My 107 needs a regas and I was thinking of using this to convert fron R12 to R134 using this kit. Any comments? R12 - R134A AIR CONDITIONING CONVERSION & RECHARGE KIT on eBay (end time 02-Jul-10 13:36:58 BST)

Hi Guys I need some help. firstly I'm unsure whether or not I have air con. The owners manual instructs me to set the temp knows to white (middle) and turn EC-OFF. But no cool/cold air. Where is the compressor and gas? Does anyone know a reputable place central Scotland Glasgow area for Merc...

Hi Another novice question from me! I would like to get the air-con regassed on my 1986 w126. What refrigerant do they use? If it's an obslete one, is there a modern substitute that can be used without haveing to change all the seals? Thanks John

Hi guys i havea problem with my air con on my c240 which has just been re-gassed but still not any colder, i have checked the duo valves and they are working correctly. Do i need to look at getting a new or second hand compressor?

I have a 1995 C180 W202. The "heater" switch goes from 1-5 with no indication that any of the settings relate to air conditioning. In any event, I suspect the AC would not have been recharged since the car was manufactured. Getting a squeal when I start the engine which suggests to me I need to...

Hi Forum, My car has been off the road for the last 9 months but the AC was working last summer although not as ice cold as the year before. But this year it just blows hot air so after reading the forums here I took it along to Kwik Fit for a service and regass however sadly it is still...

I've a 1999 E200 avantgarde which has sod all air emiting from it's vents, even when the blower is set to 5 (highest setting). I can hear the fan working furiously, but little or no air comes out any of the vents. Then there's the very small point that, seeing as it's been a bit hot, the AC...

The air conditioning on my W126 works (Climate control version), although it is not particularly cold. However I have noticed that if I turn it off while driving. Either EC or OFF. Then while driving I try to put it back onto air conditionting - Nothing.:crazy: Fan is working, however no...

Hello all, I have a W124 300E from Decmber 1992, in which the air conditioning has never worked during my ownership. I would now like to get his rectified, and I wondered if anybody had used Aircon Direct http://www.ac4cars.co.uk/ before and could recommend them. Secondly, does anybody know...
