Title: Air con
Post by: bcarlin on 19 June 2013, 20:44
Air con has stopped working. Took it to quick fit and after 1 hour the guy says there is something wrong with the car as it didn't work. The car is making like an interference noise if that makes sence. Anyone any ideas ?

Have a look at the centre bolt on the compressor chances are its loose so will need a new compressor

Just booked mine in for this too after months of the noise doing my head in. They think it either needs a new compressor or re-gasing?
