I have just fitted a new expansion valve, receiver drier and rad to my air con system, I have had it gassed at kwik fit (might be the problem), when the air con is on its not freezing cold enough to cool the cab (bearing in mind I have a bulkhead), but it does blow cool.
When observing it all operating from the engine bay, the radiator fan spins up, and it sounds like the compressor also cuts in as the engine revs drop, but they seem to run for about 10 seconds then switch off.
2 questions really,
1, Is it normal for these to spin up for such a short period and then stop?
2, Am I expecting too much from my dated air conditioning?
