Hello all.
We’ll the S212 E250 has been so well behaved for ages but has thrown a wobly. I think because the Alfa has had more (needed) attention.
Anyway, the aircon has stopped blowing cold. I leave it on auto all the time and its normally ice cold when needed, though generally I have it set at 16 or 17 deg. I looked at the compressor and it seems to spin whether the aircon is on or off, I thought I read it had a clutch type affair and so only spins when on? The climate control lights all seem normal. Just sits on red when on.
I guess it could just be out of gas but anything else I can check before taking it in? I think I read it has to be reset in Star if re-gassed.
Thanks all!
