Hi all

All was well in the Bugeye air con world until one day the button light switched on as usual but there was no action. I cannot hear the usual noise from the fan and there seems to be no action at all.

Any ideas?

Any help with this issue would be a real help as the temp. rises and my family inc. 14 mnth baby gets warmer!

Thanks for the quick and concise suggestion Nick. Are there any fuses that I could also check. Is there more than one fuse?

Also as I replaced the condensor and had it re-gassed last summer, used it over Winter until one day it just seemed to have stopped, might this be a leak in a pipe? Can this be checked by Kwick Fit with their testing kit?

Alos are there any pipes that I could change if they are getting on a bit?

Mine failed after 7 & 3/4 years.... all the gas leaked out, it passed a vacuum test but leaked under pressure. It was the plastic clip on the chassis rail passenger side that wore mine away.

if the gas is low the compressor/pump does not engauge, i had a leak in mine and after replacing and testing all of it with a can of gas as it was cheaper then getting it filled everytime to find it just leaked out again, it was not till it had a certain amount of gas in the system did the pump start up (filling with engine running and aircon on)

Thanks fore the info folks. Very helpful. I read a lot about how an empty a/c system can cause all problems with seals craking etc. Bit of a nightmare this a/c lark.

Quote £60 ex VAT for a gas up and die injected to check for leaks. Then I can see where the leak is.

Wish I never bothered replacinmg the condensor and the leak may have knackered it since it stopped working in Nov.
