    Aircon actuators recirc door problem

    Hi all Aircon was playing up so I tried "relearning" by holding down the demister button, now the fan blows hot constantly. My understanding is that the recirc door actuator and hot cool actuator will lock together if the recirc door is faulty? What I have confirmed is: Drivers side/face...

    Aircon losing power

    Had a regas recently, aircon is great when the engine starts but after about 20 minutes the fan seems to slow right down. Air still comes out and is still cool but very low pressure. If I turn of the engine for a few minutes it comes back full strength but fades again after roughly 20 minutes...

    Hi All I had a guy come out tonight, $100 for a regas plus $50 for a leaky valve. All up $150 which is annoying but not bad considering he came out after hours. Aircon is now blasting out at 4 degrees. Thanks everyone for the input.

    Aircon Issue [SOLVED]

    Thanks for the quick reply. So sounds like she needs a regas and/or the seals checked? Is there anything I can check myself or do I have to take the old girl in?

    Aircon Issue [SOLVED]

    Hi All I've got a 2009 VE Sportwagon with an aircon issue. The Fan/blower is working, heater is working however the aircon will not kick in. Aircon light doesn't light up and the air doesn't get cold. It's not a belt or fuse problem, and I can switch between vents without issues. Any ideas?

    Led led indicators hyperflashing

    I've had a look on eBay and found the load resistors, about $10 for a set of four, seems easy enough to install. I figure the rear indicator wiring will be easy to get to, however the front ones are going to be tricky- I've had a quick look and can't see any obvious wiring under there- any ideas?
