Air-Con - Isn't it great

[Paul RN]

Nicely re-gassed the other day and perfect to keep chilly/cool in this bloomin hot weather!

 

[DrR]

Yes yes it is, but mines never needed a regass in 5 years, i'm impressed.

 

[Jamesstone]

Days like today make lumping the extra 30odd kg's worth it

 

[AKFM1]

mine needs re-gassing to get it ice cold

 

[Dean.]

my fans stink from time to time, like damp. do i need to get it re-gassed and cleaned?

sorry to hijack

 

[clairemae]

not when it needs re gassing,

 

[Kerryclio]

I don't bother using it lol

 

[clairemae]

I don't bother using it lol

i never did till i needed it and it wasnt working now i feel i really need it lol

 

[Greeny.]

Mines s**t, had both front windows open and prayed for a light breeze, sooner its out the better.

 

[DrR]

If you don't use it, the seals become dry and all the gass escapes, should run it for a good 10 mins every now and again.

 

[ABOO]

I never use mine anyway. Too tight to drop below 30mpg!!

 

[chris182cup]

How quicky should ac get ice cold? Takes mine a good minute or so, it's cold but not really cold

 

[boomerbang2006]

While we are on the subject,is it easy to re-gas it using the halfords tin?

 

[Greeny.]

I somehow kept to 40mpg all day.. its normally 25-35 max!!

 

[Jonff]

Meh! I'm sure I can stick 4 days a year of sweating my b****cks off in the car, the cold wet weather will be back soon :rasp:

[ABOO]

Spoken like a proper sweaty Cup owner! :rasp:

Greeny, you been driving in reverse today???

 

[SBV116]

Windows down, flat out.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I'd ditch mine if it wasnt so expensive to do!

Windows ftw.

 

[daydotz]

climate control ftw while getting 55mpg :rasp:

 

[DannoTheGreat]

I only took mine off last week, great timing!

 

[realnumber 1]

How/why do people not use it:S ?
Set temp, press AUTO and away you go.... AC kicks in as and when needed. Mine gets plenty of use so don't see what this 3 days a year rubbish is...

thats actually a good point about the AUTO button, most people don't realse its full function.

 

[DB.]

Definitely need mine regassed Had to result to both windows down today.

 

[Krispwee]

Mines broken since about 3 days before it started getting hot Outside Temp on dash is showing 48 degrees and won't blow fast at all Not sure if its the thermostat thingy underneath the wing mirror or the resistor thats bust. Anyway of telling? D:

Amazes me the amount of people who don't understand that concept of doing that.

 

[clayton6]

Use mine nearly everyday, think it's going to need a re gas soon because it's not too much colder than just the min temp on the climate control.

 

[DrR]

Don't forget to use the recirculation button.

 

[daydotz]

be interesting to see how the 200s climate copes as the 197s had alot of problems an many unhappy with its coolness

 

[Greeny.]

Greeny, you been driving in reverse today???

Lol no, however I was stuck in a huge traffic jam for 40 minutes at one point and stuck behind a motorbike on back roads Did about 200 miles all in at 40mpg, I was impressed! Colder air seems to distroy my mpg, not surprising I guess.

 

[Bluebeard]

If you're hot, open the window!

If you're cold, close it. Simples.

 

[clayton6]

Don't forget to use the recirculation button.

Whats the reason with AC??

 

[guysy]

Shorts on, Windows down.. Win..

f**k being cold on the 3 days of heat we have...

 

[DrR]

Whats the reason with AC??

Cos it cools, the already cool air more?

 

[Gaz_]

Distant memory for me i'm afraid. Curse selling that 197 :dapprove:

 

[ForceIndia]

It's needed. Sack turning up to work sweaty, I have a proper job.

 

[Gaz_]
