Hi guys am new to all this... here goes.....bought Galaxy in 2002 had air con problems straight away not blowing out cold air, been fixed a few times by the same garage but then moved.. problem re occured was fixed last April while still under warrenty but 3 months later totally packed up air compressor seized and clutch sheared off.. unfortunatley just out of warrenty ford head office will pay 70% towards cost of replacing the system but its gonna cost

have you tried trading standards??

 

sorry to hear about all the probs.if it was fixed under warrenty..surely the repair work has a 12month guarentee???

Work carried out under warranty is only guaranteed upto the end of the warranty period, whether that be 3 years or 1 day.

 

Do a seach for 'air con' and you'll find that air con probs have effected most us at some stage unfortunately, and is probably one of the most written about subjects on this forum ! :blink:

Get on to Ford Cust Services. I had 9 months of trouble with mine. Eventually SEAT got another dealer to fix even though it went out of warranty.

You have to be persistant.

If you don't ask you don't get!!!

Good luck

thanks guys for all your advice have already been to trading standards... they just say persist...it is keeping me up at night again... fords offered me 70% towards the cost of a potential

also why would the air compressor seize and cause the clutch to shear off... surely this has to be down to lack of lubricant ...how long would this take ?? perhaps they forgot to replace the lubricant after they fixed it ...who knows!!!!
