Had a guy round last night to re gas the system, he did the usual, emptied the R12 (600g)?? took out moisture, put in R24, after everything was sorted the guages were reading fine, but the output was not cold, 30deg.

 

As the gauges were reading okay, he couldn't diagnose the problem with his big book!!

 

Any one got any ideas?

It appears things have taken a drastic turn, i was coming home from newmarket and seeing how good the air con could work, when Bang! car kept stalling when no throttle applied and smoke coming out of the front left side of engine area, couldn't et it to start and hold revs, so decided to switch off aircon. Voila, all's okay.

 

So chances are my compressor has blown up..maybe.. if it has, what luck in that i had just taken a working one off SY_GT for nought .

 

So do you think it was the compressor blowing up?

When my old one did that, it just snapped the belt.Have a look as its running.

Yeh take a look at the end of the compressor it will be chewed up and look a mess.
