350ZORRO Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Hi, I`ve had my Z for 2 years and the air-cons never worked I got a friend to re gas it but now it only works when pulled over and this is only occasionly works. As soon as I drive off the air goes warm again. Has anyone else had this problem? I have the workshop repair manual on cd but don`t know where to start, as there are 150 pages on air-con. Is there a pollen filter? I cant find any mention of this in the manual. Cheers Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 No pollen filter , sounds like you have a leak in the system or the compressor pump is faulty ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drewbie Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Sod the pump, sell the car and get a choptop ! Keeps you cool and you get a free tan thrown in - well for 2 days a year anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 when you turn the a/c button from off to on, do you see the idle change? If yes, then the compressor is turning on and working, and that means there is refridgerant in the system as well. If not, then look to the compressor, and related solenoids, etc. If the idle does change, then perhaps have a look at the condensor, and make sure there is not something block the airflow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried it now. Oh well...back to the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 then the car has a leak someplace in the system, more than likely from one of the a/c hardlines. Bring the car to a trusted mechanic, or dealer, and have them inspect it. There is a dye they can put through the system that will reveal any leaks, so they can replace the faulty part.

350ZORRO Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 The air-con worked again twice today, so i guess the compressors fine an no leaks. It still only workes when stationary though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
