306 A/C question

A/C has stopped working on my 306Hdi (2001). I had the front pipe
replaced last June and regassed and it worked fine after that. Now
it's not working at all again. Anything obvious to look for before I
take in for yet another pressure test? I'm sure that in the past when
I've switched it on, the engine slows slightly but now there is no
change at all.

TIA



cheers,

I have had the same problem, AC did not work so had a service on it
including a pressure test => one pipe replaced and refilled. Then one year
later the other pipe leaked. Driven with no AC since but I'll have it fixed
soon. Hopefully the gaskets etc. are still ok and not dried out.

hi there

on 306's its a common fault on them the alloy pipes under the radiator rot
away in the plastic clips some times the ac rads give up but not that
often

take my advice if one pipe has gone renew both
thay are both in the same boat you dont have to buy genuine ones there is
after market ones for the 306

i hope this helps
