Yes, if the outside temp sensor is not working, that can screw up the auto A/C.
It uses the outside temperature as part of it's calculations for air mixing.

90% of A/C failures are caused by leaks.
The A/C system is charged with a small amount of oil, to lubricate the compressor. When you get a leak in the system some of the oil may come out with the refrigerant. Typically, dirt then sticks to the oil.
So the first thing to do is to go over every inch of the A/C system looking for these oily...

Quite possible. I've replied to your PM.

The 5008 could have been fitted with either type of refrigerant, but as I mentioned, the connectors should only accept the fittings for the correct type when it's being recharged or serviced.

Hi
I have an unusual problem with the air conditioning. Compressor clutch coil does not engage. The coil is operational, it works after applying voltage directly from the battery. I measured the voltage on the coil power harness and it is strange. is only 10.8V. The voltage appears when the engine is started and remains even after turning off the...

Citroen C5 2010 Air Con Problem

by vbhatti » 11 Jun 2015, 13:23

First post

Hello Guys,

Hope some of the bright minds here can help with a air con problem on my 2010 C5.
So far I have had a friend try to diagnose the problem without much luck so far.

When switching on the AC, the AC light comes on, but the air blowing into the car does not get cold.
The clutch on the compressor never engages, hence the compressor does...

Get the A/C system properly checked for leaks./ It may need re-gassing or you may have a leak. Either way a proper A/C specialist should be able to fully test for leaks and pressure test the system for you.

Citroen Relay Aircon stops working on fan speed 3 and 4

Hi all, new here so thanks for letting me join.
I have a problem with the aircon on my Citroen Relay 2010 L4H2. The aircon turns on and works ok on fan speeds 1 and two. As soon as I switch to speed 3 or 4 the aircon cuts out and the light on the aircon switch turns off.
Has anyone else had the same issue or know what my problem is likely to be?...

Pull the relevent fuses (one at a time) and check for any signs of corrosion, burning or overheating of the contacts.

C5 2.0 HDI 2003 - Aircon weirdness and actuator noises

I have some weird noises on my C5, I think they can be heared the best in this video. Of course, the problem is not only the noise, but also some weird behavior: The temp is set to 22 degrees C and, while it's cold outside, the right side of the vents would blow cold air while the left would blow hot air. Other times, the left would just have hot...

Thanks Colin.

Not sure it is my issue as I measured the compressor coil at 40 MOhms but definitely worth a check. I think it might have been you that posted that fix for the fusebox a while back. That was a Godsend.

Citroen C5 X7 - Evaporator or Condenser?

Hi!

I was (sadly) in this section about a year ago... No AC on my 2008 2.0i C5 X7 when I purchased it. Thanks to the help of the forum, I found that a pipe was broken (the classic one) and changed it. Then, the car got an AC regas, and it lasted....few days.

Back on this, thanks to the weather...

As it works during few days, and the pipes out...

You may well have a leak from the evaporator box. When they test for leaks, they should either use a 'sniffer' tool to detect the refrigerant for leaks or a UV light if the system has had some dye added to show leaks.

Hi all I’m hoping you may be able to help. I’ve had my grand Picasso c4 2015 regassed twice in the last 2 years. My local garage can’t find a leak they have put dye in it but can’t find anything. They pressure tested it and it loses 1 bar over 3 hours. Anyone got any ideas

Last post

Leaks can be notoriously hard to find and not always in the obvious places.

You may have a leak in or near the evaporator box inside the dash. There are probes with UV lights or 'sniffers' that can be used to better detect any leaks from these areas.

Having said that, it took the main dealer 4 attempts on 4 separate visits after recharging to...

Just thought I would update the thread.
It has been 15 months since I made this repair and the A/C is still working well (touch wood).

Would be interesting to have the refrigerant recovered and see if any has been lost, but I'm happy to call it fixed for now :-D :-D

It then returns to the same setting (22C / HI) which means that the fan goes to max every time the engine is started. I am planning to switch the climate panel as I hope this is the...

On your passenger compartment fuse box, there is a SHUNT fuse, used when the vehicle will parked up and not used for longer periods - it shuts off some of the electrical system to conserve battery power. Check your manual for the position settings, but is should be shunted to CUSTOMER position.

Air con always on (xantia year 2000)

by howzat » 08 Mar 2007, 22:41

First post

My problem is that the compressor engages with air con switch off. This causes fans to operate. Switching on the system lights the indicator in the switch. Unplugging the compressor disengages it. I need a wiring diagram of the system and location of the various relays. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Last post

Isn't that what air con does. Remove water from the air and dry it.. Hence its use as a demister.. The water is what has been removed from the air and is deposited from an outlet pipe..

Berlingo Airco problem C72A- B -D -E

Hello,

Need help on fixing my airco on Citröen Berlingo B9 model.
Last summer the airco failed to work, instead of getting cool air it was blowing very hot air into the car.

The hot air blowing stopped by itself.

I checked the compressor clutch and it wasn't working anymore, the coil was burned through.
I relaced the coil, refilled the gas. It...

The motors are simple stepper motors and these (depending on type of climate control or A/C fitted) will control the Air Distribution and Air Mixing functions. They do not have individual ECU in them, so need no coding to the vehicle.

When you say the airco pump in your post above, are talking about the A/C compressor? Of the clutch is engaging...

Thanks, yeah it really is an amazing piece of design; especially the ability to vary the displacement on the fly with an electrical signal.

Not sure how the shaft could be reconditioned though...

That does sound like an alternator bearing giving up.
Try it again, using lots of lights, heated window, and blower (on high speed) to see whether this sort of load does the same thing.
Under high load, the tension in the alternator drive belt will increase, and put a bigger load on its bearings.
If the alt is the culprit, probably best just to...
