Disco 2 Air con

You've got mail.

Surely not.... why don't they just have a message that says so rather than a fault code to decrypt?

Has Bill Gates bought Tata?

Any chance of a copy in my direction?

My DII air-con hasn't worked for ages and having just done the diagnostics as in the OP I also get FC 21 and FC 22 along with the seat symbol and face and foot arrows on.

'Tis done.

My reading of the code list is that FC21/FC22 will not lead to a total loss of air con.. The air distribution will suffer but you'll still get cold.

In other words, both you and Dom have another problem. Dom admits to having a malfunctioning compressor clutch - I don't read that as being asssociated with the sunlight sensor. On the other hand it could be like a Microsoft error message - expect something totally different from what the message states!

Hopefully the sun will be out tommorow and I'll retry the test. Pity it doesn't tell us anything about the rest of the aircon system like the clutch control, gas pressure switch(s)(if any) state. I suspect my problem is down to lack of gas but I can't see the dye stains anywhere. B-( Still it's winter now and won't need any cooling and this summer I only felt the slight need only two or three times...

Most of the dye I've used in the past has only been visible under a UV light source.

Cheers Dougal for the mail, very helpful indeed. Just about to print it off and have a read.

The FC 21/22 is almost certainly coz when i did the test it was dark. Did it again tonight and no fault codes at all. I'll start checking fuses etc over the weekend. I looked for the dye last night with a UV torch and the only bits i could see was in the cap marked 'H'. I was expecting to see dye all over the place.

Dougal Hi,

I would be extremely obliged if you could send me a copy of the diagnostics for the D2 A/C system.

Thank you for considering my request.

Take care Pantelis

I'd be having a good look under the dashboard as it's likely to be leaking from either the TX valve or the evaparator.

Yep, when mine went it was the metal pipework that runs under the battery that had chaffed. I had a clur though.... a big green pool of slime on the drive the day after I had it recharged. So if it's leaking inside the green slime should still be evident. If it was a minor leak it wouldn't have had such an effect so quickly. Your other alternative is to get the system pressure tested.

I'm no expert , this was just my experience.

I remember that - how did you fix it ? Didn't you have to get the official pipe ?

Dougal thank you !!!!

I owe you a big glass of cold beer when you will be in Greece

Take care Pantelis

P.S. tried replying to your e-mail but it bounced back.

Yeah.. even the local masters craftsmen couldn't come up with a fix for the pipe and I'm not one to part with hard earned when I don't need to.. really went againt the grain that did!

:-(

If it hadn't have been for the cost of likely recharges if it failed i'd of tried some of these miracle metal repairs glue wotsits.

hey ho!
