Air con light blinking?

I think the aircon light flashes when the aircon pulley to engine speed is out by a determined amount. It could indicate the aircon compressor is partially seizing.

 

If you've got the right spanner/socket (14mm) you could remove the fan/aux belt and check the pulley.

just been reading the manual, the seizing part could be a bit OTT on my part.

 

Basically the system has a built in shut down of the aircon system (by turning off the compressor) if the ratio of the aircon pump to engine is too different.

 

Does the inner part of the aircon pulley engauge when the aircon is turned on?

Air con light was blinking away so thought it may need a regas however I did this at work today and the light is still blinking away. Anyone know what this means or could it indicate a number of things?

 

Many thanks

Rich

 

Rich,

 

Did you get this sorted as mine's started doing this. What was the problem. I've been assuming it was just needing a re-gas, not an actual problem. Any answers would be great.

No mate I have'nt had time to sort this yet. Ideally I'd like to get rid of the AC altogether as I rarely use it. Just read your post and mine seems the same, I switched the AC on whilst driving the other day and the belt squealed and slipped just as you described.

 

Let me know how you get on.:)

 

Cheers

Rich
