Focus Mk1 Aircon
Discussion
Good morning all,
My 2002 Focus has developed a fault with the air-conditioning system. I am wondering if anyone is aware of the typical culprit (if there is one) for the following symptoms.
On first start, the aircon functions perfectly normally for at least five to ten minutes of driving. The aircon will then cease to produce cool air, however the fans will continue to operate as if the system was still producing cold air.
If the car is shut down and started a short time later, the system will again produce cold air and repeat the process above.
The aircon button does not flash like I have read it should do when an error is detected.
I had the system gassed at the start of the year and it remained fully functional up until about 5 months in where it began to exhibit the above symptoms.
Is there a specific component known to fail and cause the above or is it likely to be something more complex?
Regards,
