Hi every one the other day I was driving home from work when I heard a really loud bang then a Smokey fog came through all the vents and out from under the bonnet the mechanic told me the line had burst because he thinks he put the wrong gas in as he done it before I brought it he had my car for 3 days and charged me 800, well I got my car back today and my ac is now icey cold but my now ny ac fan is not working on any speed and my car is slightly running hotter when I am sitting in traffic usually sits just over a quarter and now in traffic just under half way what would it be caused from any help or advice would be hugely appreciated

He charged you to fix his #### up......

BTW, what was the issue (fuse/fusible link)?

It was fusible link and a blown fuse I replaced them check all wiring and found one of the connections in the plug was broken fixed that and now is 100% but the problem now is its cold and no need for ac, yeah I was shocked when he told me how much to fix it will take a pic of the burst hose and post up

At the end of the day he should pay for the damage he caused. You should only have paid for the original AC system re-gas. Any repairs done to fix his #### up should come out of his pocket.

Something on that circuit will be drawing to much current. Which fusible link is it?

Unfortunately I don't have any wiring diagrams for that model so can't be of much assistance but whatever has occurred is most likely connected with the other AC problems.

Owners manual should have all the info you need for the clock.
