Air-con not working!

Postby joop » Tue 26.06.2007, 09:59

My Elan air-con doesn't blow cool air anymore, it just blow normal temperature even if I've pressed the air-con buttom. This is really uncomfortable when I'm driving in 30c hot summer. If I don't fix this problem, my leather seat will be gone soon with my sweat.
Please help!

My A/C started alternating between working then not working yesterday. I threw it around in my head last night & decided to check the pressue 1st. Sure enough, it was right on the low-border of acceptable. Charged it up to the top of what's considered normal and it works GREAT! Did find a slow leak & am in the process of ordering that part. However, how bad/quick must a leak be B4 deciding to open the system? As the ozone-layer quivers before me, lest I unlease 90lbs of R12 on its ass, I'm not overly concerned.
