Radio Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hi boys and girls. Air con was not working. Just had my UK TT aircondioning cleaned checked with dye for leaks and re-gased. Was working great when it came back. Noticed that I could hear the pump swictching on and off on tick over. This has now stopped and its not getting cold again.........(only worked for 1 week).....any ideas before I take it back to garage that re-gased it. I noticed that in the handbook it said that there are 3 fuses that are associated to air-con. One under bonnet on passenger side wing. checked ok. Two that are part of instrument panel. (where is that situated) can they stop it working Any ideas! Cheers Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You could check they used the correct stuff that the handbook says to use? Another thing would be if it's empty, from a leak developed after you got it back (the stress of using it heavily all of a sudden). You should be able to see the liquid in the window in the engine bay behind the toyota badge. Hope it's something simple like that and not the pump. Just a guess, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cheers mate will check the window thing...if I can find it. I always leave my air-cons on, what ever the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus GTE Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 You must be minted cause it costs a fair bit. I've been using it quite a bit too the now while it has been a bit muggy. If you use it that much it might just be empty?? I used a can of ezchill from halfords and re gassed it myself. It worked fine.

Radio Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Cheers mate. Nothing in the little window, so it must have leaked. they said that they had tested it only 1 week ago and put dye in it. No leaks....I wonder. Anyway it will be back on Monday. If anyone else has any ideas, i'd appreciate your comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Did you get this sorted Ray. I've had something similar, had it regassed 3 times, never found a leak, but a couple of weeks later the air con just stops working and all the gas has just vanished again.

Markie Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Any clues on where the low side port is on a 98 TT VVT-i? I got a bottle of this EZ Chill I am gonna try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]155720[/ATTACH] Pic of the window I was talking about AC refrigerant doesn't work like that and should last a lot longer than a week before it loses its cooling ability, 2-3 years easily on a system that's working correctly To the op give Ibrar a call as he does AC re gasses and does all the checks etc If its not leaked the gas then i'd guess the compressor could have a problem Edited July 10, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
