i cannot believe that all these garages who are meant to be the experts continue to replace items and charge and do not seem to check the car is working correctlyhow do they get away with saying the cars are working when clearly there not?

 

To be fair to the garage who replaced my condenser, it was certainly punctured by a stone that had kicked up from the road. After they replaced the condenser, thay had the car running for about an hour on their rig to monitor temperature, it was all running fine when they handed it back to me. However, that was a cool day and the problem I'm experiencing seems to only kick in when the air gets above a certain temperature (about 23 degrees, going by today's experiment).

maybe so,but iirc when ever a major repair is carried out on the air con,does it not have to be refilled and tested under pressure?.so if thats the case how can a garage hand the car back saying its working fine??,if the aircon doesnt work then it dont work,so surley the job hasnt been done correctley??.

I seem to have aircon problem on my 2003 Galaxy with CC

The unit started falsing recently when turning ignition on .

As it hadn't been regassed - had it regassed at Ford Rapidfit.

 

Now stopped flashing and they advised I had no gas before refill.

 

Problem is the aircon isn't working - any ideas - is it an error code problem and if so how much will that cost to fix ?

well from whats been posted on here,the panel flashes for approx 15 seconds and this is meant to tell you that theres a problem i:e empty,now your panel doesnt flash probably means something else within the system is faulty.
