Please don't shout but as you say you haven't got a clue, the temperature is set low enough for the cold air to come on isn't it?

I know its obvious but just checking.

hi
the temp is set to low and tried it set to 16 as well and only get cool not ice cold air!
ive tried it with econ off and auto off and at various temps the fuses seem to be fine.
ive tried it with the recirculate button on/off too, in one of the threads it mentions looking for a fan to come on when switched on is this the big fan at the front?
thx

When you switch it on its very noisy, if you can hear the fan its working. Back to what Mike say's I'm afraid looks like a re gas.

Have you had no climate control on over the winter? its best to run it quite often to stop the seals from drying out. If your seals have dried a little that allows gas to escape and means a re gas. I run mine all the time just to keep everything running and the gas circulating.

hi
no i havent had the car long so never used it till recently.
just been out to try it with the bonnet open and the grill off and the radiator fan doesnt come on but there is a noise that something is switching on and makes a groaning noise for a few seconds then goes off and comes back on after around 20 seconds,i can hear it from the air vents in the middle of the dash near the clock i left the car run for around 15 mins the temerature gauge stays in normal.

how much should it be for a regas? is it dear?

ps there is a very mild gassy smell when its switched on a bit like compressed air from the garage when filling tyres

it read alert overcharged what does this mean?


Without sounded clever, you have answered the question yourself in your initial post.Overcharged mean excess gas which means it needs recovering properly and the correct amount of refrigerant being put back in.
