Chris called tonight thanks!!

Unfortunately it's not just as simple as a gas refill for me.

More money to fix the aircon!

Great :-(

Bought myself a 2000 CL500 and the AC system appears to be empty

Anyone fancy another group buy for regassing and possible diagnostics with @supermoto_77 ?

To make it easy for him, shall we format Name / Car / Issue?

Apparently my aircon pump isn't engaging on the honda. Anyone got any thoughts? Pump buggered or is it more likely to be a fuse or relay somewhere?

thanks!!

Some cars won't engage the pump if there isn't enough pressure in the system, worth checking first

as above, get someone to hold the aircon button in for 5 seconds and see does pump engage for a second, if so its just sensor related due to lack of gas

Aircon systems are pretty complicated (as I learned recently). Greenway autos for regassing, diagnosis and repairs. My aircon wasn't kicking in and it ended up being a interior air intake sensor. No amount of refilling would have sorted it.

Mine seems broken too. Not so sure it will be a simple regas. No cold air, and there is a fan behind the dash that makes a random noise, like there is leaves in it. But it only does it when I stop and the car idles, it goes away again when I drive off.

I had this issue on a CRV a few years back. I took a chance and bought a new relay, which fixed it. Fairly common issue from memory.

It was kwik fit who brought it to my attention, they filled it and couldn't get the pump to engage.

Funny when I bought the car it wasn't working properly and Donnelly's fitted the relay for me which sorted it. If it's not too dear, i'll try that first before looking any further.

thanks!

Kwik fit told me my system was empty and there was a hole in the condenser. The panel to get at the filler pipes hadn't even been touched as demonstrated at Greenway 15 minutes later lol
