On the motorway trip, the aircon was working well. Too well in fact.

Now, being new to aircon, I'm wondering if this is normal...

My second c5 did that. It's likely either the temperature flap seized or the spindle worn or both. Most likely a dash out to fix it. One of the reasons why I did not fix my car when I bashed it and sold it on.

Simple question. Where on earth are the HP and LP service valves on this car? Most I've seen have them somewhere pretty obvious, but they seem pretty well hidden on the Xantia.

Well assuming it's like the Scenics there's multiple reasons. Some fault codes will stop the engine ECU from enabling the compressor clutch. A lack of refrigerant pressure will also be detected by the engine ECU with the same effect. A faulty refrigerant pressure sensor/connector/loom will have the same effect.

Hi guys. My 2.2 VTR with climate control has a number of interesting foibles, which I'm now trying to track down and fix. One of the more important ones is that when the aircon is on, the rad fans sometimes switch into high speed. I believe it is supposed to be low speed until a combination of aircon pressure, temperature etc. tells it otherwise...

I used to have a C3 when it was released newly. My father bought me that as a present. 1 year it was working awesome, no serious or heavy problems. But after then, some time ago, the car would heat up every time i tried to use the aircon while the car be on neutral or parking....?? I am planning to buy a Citroen again so is there anything that you...

What do you mean by heating up? Do you mean warm air coming into the cabin, or the engine temperature increasing?

But I have tried several places on the net and they no longer have them. I guess that Fred is just too old! Anyone know of someone who might have one?

Many thanks.

Mine produces a lot of condensate, and it's well-serviced. The Xantia AC drain spigot is in the passenger footwell, it passes out the firewall sort of above the anti-roll bar clamp into a rubber elbow. Near the hydraulic pressure drop detector on RHD cars.

I've seen the elbow poorly fitted from factory, causing it to not drain properly.

Hi All,

I've been talking to the tec's at Delphi and the only difference between the 2 pumps is the size of the pulley.

119mm v 121mm which I think means they are interchangeable.

I would have 1 reservation which is check the a/c pipe connection is the same before hand.
