hi all , after reading a few posts about non-working aircon units i found my system seemed to be showing sysmtoms different to other described in previous threads .
The gas in the system was all depleated , showing no readout on preasure gauge , according to previous threads my EC light should have stayed on but it didnt . I was able to engage and disengage as usual .The condenser clutch wasnt engauging , I think this was par for the course though . Having some gas/fluid from a previous top-up I though i'd 'try it anyway' just to see and hey prestow , as soon as I started putting the new stuff in the condeser clutch engaged and all was cold again. I have read other threads where advise about changing various componants needed to be done when the clutch doesnt kick in , Am I just lucky or is this the norm and I've read the other posts wrong?
