Should I be worried
Hi all
Have come across Aircon problem seems intermittent but not sure how to remedy it. Driving home wife had been waiting in car with heater set to hot Aircon on Was too hot so decided to set lower just seemed to get hotter finally set to cold but stayed hot ......turned fan to zero and back on after couple of minutes it finally was stone cold . Temperature gauge for engine was dead settled entire time spot on centre. Is this a common fault or should I worry. Thanks for any help you can offer. |

Trying spinning the temperature knob fast, all the way from one end to the other and do it 15-20 times. That may clean the contacts and the AC may behave. If it improves then it's definitely the potentiometer, so ideally, you can change it sometime in the near future
