Aircon on 2.0
« on: 12 September 2009, 14:09:10 »
I have just noticed my aircon doesn't seem to come into play.I have check the fuses,switch and these seem fine.What i have noticed is the plate on the outside of the  compressor,i believe this is the clutch and doesn't move with the engine running,switched on or not.With the engine turned off i can turn the plate but on turning this sounds a bit gritty like it hasn't been used for a while.As im going to Italy next month i would like it working.Any ideas or pointers.

Remove elec plug from compressor.  Connect the 2 pins on the compressor direct to a 12 volt battery (maintaining correct polarity) - you should hear a distinct clunk as the clutch engages.  No clunk=compressor clutch breaked - you will need to swap compressor  :(
