Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Dead compressor??

Following on from my other post in the peugeot forum is it possible for the compressor to be dead even though the clutch kicks in and carries on spinning??

Last post

When the system was refilled, the pressures should have been checked with the engine running, this would have immediately shown the health of the compressor.

The operation of the fan is (almost certainly) not dependent on the condition of the compressor.

Made a realisation a little while ago that the rattling noise in my engine bay that I had been scratching my head about the source of for a while stops completely when the compressor is running.

My guess is that this is due to wear in the bearings in the free wheeling mechanism on the compressor pulley.

It hasn't got any worse since I got the...

Forgot to mention: on my compressor at least, the clutch bearing is not adjustable - its a preloaded double row angular contact job. Any wear at all and it will develop play.

Thank you very much for your help so far! I have sort of redefined the problem now... no power is getting to the blower at all, and it is very probable that the aircon control derives its power from the same source. Verifying that will take a wiring diagram! Now, if I can find one of them...

condenser removal

by john alexander » 13 Jul 2013, 18:39

First post

Hi . I've just removed the A/C condenser from my C5 as it was holed . I intend to replace it later but until then I will seal the ends of the pipes . Now for the question. would it help to seal one of the pipes in a plastic bag of silica gel to absorb any damp. Regards John.

Last post

I would use a poly bag with a couple of packets of silica gel, so you don't end up with gel in the pipework. I would do it on both pipes.

Peugeot 406 STOP light flashing when a/c on

First post

Hello!

I was wondering, if anyone could help me with figuring out why my STOP light starts flashing when i turn on the air con.

I've read quite a bit on the topic, and i came to the conclusion its either faulty relay or one of the fan resistors. firstly i checked all conections and wiring and it seems to be ok. Relays seem ok, but i wouldnt know...

Last post

Oh I see.

You need ot see if any faults are logged then really, it may just be a pressure concern.

Condenser seals

by deuchebleu » 13 Jun 2013, 22:14

First post

My Picasso needs a new aircon condenser. I've sorted out an online part supplier for this but it comes without seals. It says these are manufacturer specific.
On the Service Citroen site they are shown as 6460AZ and 6460AY at about £6 - £8 each. Now I don't want to spoil the ship for a ha' porth of tar but these seem expensive for what seems to be...

Last post

Just to complete this thread I ended up getting two new seals as one of the old ones was slightly damaged removing it. The new ones were not a stock item so had to wait 3 days. On comparing new and old, I probably could have re-used them as damage was not on the bit that forms the seal. Suprisingly they came without the plastic spigot bushes which...

Xsara 1.9TD Aircon fault.

Hello all. Not posted here in a very long time, but then I've not had a french car in a very long time!

.. and this fault has foxed me somewhat.

Car is a Xsara 1.9 TD exclusive with climate control.

If you poke the A/C button, the light comes on, but the compressor clutch doesn't engage. System is full of gas. The pressure switch appears to be...

Last post

Ok, this gets more wierd.

The A/C will run, for about 8 minutes, only from a cold start. I've pulled the frost thermistor out, so that it never goes cold. I've also bypassed the HP and LP switch, mainly to prove a point. and still the A/C will only run for about 8 minutes, then cut out never to operate again until you leave the car for a few...

Scenic 04 A/C repair

by steelcityuk » 08 May 2013, 12:05

First post

Hi Folks,

After a number of other jobs on the Scenic it was time to tackle the A/C system. Out came the Ariazone a few weekends ago to check for any system pressure, the A/C had never worked since buying the car so I was expecting the worst, busted condenser or cracked joint.

Drawing a deep vacuum on the A/C system showed no sign of leaks even...

Last post

When the air conditioning failed just a couple of weeks after vacuum testing the system, flushing it and replacing the orifice tube I thought it had sprung a leak, connecting up a manifold gauge proved this idea to be wrong. So I connected up the Clip which indicated that there was no pressure in the system, my thoughts turned to a bad connection,...

C5 Aircon - radiator fan speed high?

by Johnno » 04 May 2013, 13:08

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...

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

Hi,

I have a C3 1.4 HDi (8HX engine) and have a strange problem which I think may be air con related. The cooling fan on the car stays on permanently until the battery is flat with ignition on or off ? I've scoured the web for a solution to this but can't seem to find what would cause this. Have run diagnostic with Lexia and picks up no faults...

Hi guys. After much thought I've bought a second hand compressor. In the end I couldn't afford a new one and this way I'll have the original compressor to look at and possibly recondition myself. The bloke said I can change it if it's wrong and there's a 2 month warranty.

Of course the sticker on the original compressor has long gone so I can't...

Having compared where the pipes joined it looked ok. Took it to the air con guy in the end, couldn't be bothered going back and forth getting the gas empted and refilled, and it's now working lovely.

Hi guys. The air con on Fred has a leak. The German mechanic who re-gassed it for me won't use the leak seal stuff. So I'm looking for a new air con compressor, either recon or maybe new. Once I have a new one can I change it myself? It's not the spannering it's the chemicals I'm wondering about. Of course there won't be much gas left but I don't...

in the UK there are company's doing a mobile air con service
all you need to do is arrange them to come and evacuate the system then re/gas once you have fitted the compressor

But wouldn't the Chunnel charges put paid to any savings? :P

At 300 quid, that's actually not too bad for a new compressor. I had to have the one done on my Ford Taurus...
