I have a 2001 Mondeo Ghia X with air con. Unfortunately the air con is not working correctly. It won't blow cold although it has worked on a couple of occasions intermittently so I don't think it needs re gassing.
Does anyone know of any issues with these systems or maybe give some pointers as what to look at.
Apart from checking the air flaps are working, and that the compressor belt is not slipping, there's very little you can check without proper a/c equipment. Get an a/c specialist to look at it. Preferably one familiar with car systems. Mike.

As Mike G said, there's not much you can check without specialist equipment.
As a basic test, when you switch on the aircon, do you hear a 'click' from under the bonnet? You should also hear the engine revs dip slightly (momentarily).
If you can get under the car and look at the compressor, you should be able to see when the 'clutch' engages.
Also, check that the fan is working to drive air through the condenser.
If it worked intermittently (and worked properly on those occassions, i.e. became satisifactoriily cold) then it may just be a lose electrical connection?
