2016 Suzuki Jimny AC help

[Sensei Rob]

Hi guys,

Can anyone help with locating the fan for the AC condenser for a 2016 Jimny?

It works whilst moving, but blows hot when stationary, which leads me to think that it's the fan. Any help appreciated.

Thanks normalbloke!

It's under warranty, so I took it to the dealer. Weirdly enough, when I had a look, there seemed to be no evidence of a fan! So perhaps, it's just been designed that way. The dealer gave me a call saying they replaced the AC gas and that fixed the situation, but I'm a bit skeptical.

Did you ask them where it had leaked out from? Aircon doesn’t just need regassing unless there is a leak. They should have hopefully leak tested it with nitrogen before adding gas.

I didn't ask, but from what they told me "if the AC gas is low, it doesn't work well when idling, only when it's running", I figured they either just do this all of the time with AC issues and they assumed that I'm totally ignorant. I'm picking it up today, so I'll give it a test with a thermometer.

The ac fan will be shared with the made radiator fan rather then a separate unit like most cards on the road

Unless you mean the cabin blower fan to blow the hot/cold sir around the cabin

Thanks Chris32345. The weird thing is, at first glance, I didn't see anything resembling a radiator fan (not that I was having a long, hard look). Google images don't appear to help, with some engine bays having an obvious fan, and others don't.
