Continuation from motors chat round 5

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

4.The Motors charter applies.

the aircon in the GT was blowing warm ever since I got it.

Before you got it filled again, when it was blowing warm, when you turned the air con on, when idle, did the engine make a little more noise?

In my old Rav, when you turned the AC on, the engine bay became a tad more energetic.

In the 407, nothing happens (and the air con doesnt blow cold). Just wondering if a refill is all thats needed or is it fecked altogether.:o

There is always a certain load placed on the engine when the aircon engages KKV, if you are hearing no load then I suspect you have no gas in there.
Possible seal gone or manually released by accident.

When you say gas, do you mean the gas that gets refilled (that makes the air cold)?

My car has the 407 heater issue. My car is blowing slightly warm air on the driver side. I reckon that a quick-fix for this for the moment would be to get the air-con regassed and just close the driver side vents and use the passenger side for the air con to spread around the car.

But hearing no noise whatsoever when the aircon is engaged made me think that perhaps there may be a bigger issue (a motor gone somewhere or such).

My 9-5 is having this issue, blows hot air and cold air from either side, at the same time, same in the back, traced it down to broken blend doors, no idea what they do, but its down to them maybe its the same with yours? planning on going to town on the air con system soon

Aye, I know. I should actually hang around more often. Had a very rough last 2 weeks, but I am on holidays now and hopefully I will get better.

So no problems in putting a seat in the middle so? Cheers lads.

We've missed you round these parts! Chin up man, hope things will get better for you too

No, I think my issue is a broken heater 'flap'. There are two 'flaps' that twist around inside the dashboard. One (grey) controls air direction, the other (blue) controls the temperature (hot/cold).

Here's a video (not mine) of what my issue is:

It's, at the minimum, a €450 fix, by a chap on the opposite side of the country, so as you can imagine, I'm gonna more than likely try a DIY attempt first!

Ah we binned the landline yonks ago, too much cash for a mediocre service at best. We were guaranteed broadband by the end of summer 2004, were still waiting :pac: funny though that one side of the road have the new line and the other side (us) don't thus we can't get broadband anyway....

So it's meteor phone and internet for me. Best time to use it is now when everyone else has work to go to, far faster

:D:D

I have a serious itch for an E34 Touring right now.

My phone sounds expensive but when it's unlimited calls, internet and roaming in Ireland and the UK it all of a sudden becomes cheap :cool:

That's a very nice package

the texts and phone don't bother me as it works out well enough but 1gb of mobile data per month isn't worth a toss, I'd love free roaming too

3 Keep asking me to leave the deal. It was a special offer which was withdrawn quickly I think. Works great for me tho

Don't mean to call time *ba dum tish* on ye're conversation, but can aero wiper blades be fitted to any car, i.e older cars that have the older type of wipers?
