Air - does it really work

[Ratten]

Having picked my new(ish) cerb a couple of weeks ago i'm wondering if the aircon should acutally be rubbish. If sitting in traffic the engine hits around 100 or so and i want to use the aircon i don't really feel the air being at all cold. Similar situation at all temps really.

Can i assume that it is similar to the Chimera and the aircon is carp? OR should i exercise my warranty and get the bloody thing fixed?

Mine works really well. I would have it on if the temp got near 100 though, makes the engine work harder.

has it actually got aircon?
The button doesnt equal air con fitted!
When you press the button can you hear the clutch engaging?
It should blow pretty damned cold air.

Gaz, I had the same problem on two of my cerbs, press the air con button hear it engaging, slightly colder air, but nothing much really.

I mean, you put on the air-con in my ricer, and it turns to freakin winter in that cabin!

Best solution for me was to always keep the driver window down and my arm hanging outside... lol

The temp is adjustable on some, mines got a Tuscan window winder style knob under the dash to the right of the steering column. I had to turn mine down as the pipes were icing up.

Ah ha, I shall check. Failing that it's time to see if Gatwick TVR have some workshop time available!

Try APM at Liphook or Austec in Gatwick area for better value for money etc?

You may have lost the gas in the system, which is a pretty easy and low cost repair.

I can only guess the Air Con placement (or components) is badly designed, because gas loss (ohh err) is extremely common.

I've had my Cerb for the best part of 3 years now and had to have it re-gassed about 4 times!

Depending on who re-gasses it they can put a die in it so when i leaks / looses its gas they can trace the leak with an untraviolet light and then cure it.
Well thats the idea anyway
