How did your A/C cope in your Clio today?

[Chocice]

My Clio 200 has just been regassed recently and when it was 40c today I could feel it if I put my hand over the vent but it was completely overwhelmed by the heat.

 

[Cliomaxx69]

38°C here in France and it was perfect in my 172

 

[hopgop1]

Didn't go out today, but did yesterday in my 182, A/C regassed over a year ago now and still lovely and cold. Not as good when sat still at traffic lights, but excellent on the move.

The more relevant question is, does anybody with a mk2 still have a steering wheel that isn't the consistency of melted chocolate?

Mine is the original from 2002 and it's fine, do you have a picture?

 

[frayz]

41c here and i had to turn mine down a bit as i was getting a bit chilly

 

[Chocice]

Sounds like the mk2 has better ac than the mk3

Mine melted into a different shape years ago, I haven't been outside that much today to see if it's just a puddle on the floor.

 

[Krarl]

Errr...

Me on the way home

 

[MLB]

Kept me nice and cool today! Regassed a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Mr Squashie]

My AC button doesn't do anything except lower the fuel economy

 

[Jekyll]

I did a AC delete kit and drove with the windows down. Wasn't as bad as I thought.

 

[AshyC GT]

AC regassed in April
Lovely and chilly in my 182 today

 

[gavinf91]

43 degrees over in Elevenerife with no functioning air con 👍

 

[cp1991]

Got the Aircon regassed in the ph1 a couple of weeks ago only for the throttle cable to snap just before this weather. So had the cup with no ac today. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be once on the move.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

My partner's AC in her MK4 is non existent. Windows down job. I had the pleasure of using it today 🙄

 

[Jekyll]

So are we saying air con is for pussies?

 

[Cliomaxx69]

The temperature shows Celcius even in UK cars?

 

[gavinf91]

The temperature shows Celcius even in UK cars?

Yes, that’s what we use over here

 

[Cliomaxx69]

Yes, that’s what we use over here

Oh I thought you used Fahrenheits

 

[Clio_fool]

So are we saying air con is for pussies?

No, we've just concluded that clio's are s**t.

 

[Chocice]

Maybe as the different Clio mks have come along the air con is progressively less effective due to emissions

 

[SharpyClio]

38 in my 182, AC is mint. Works really well, really cold air pretty much straight away!

if you’ve had it regassed and it’s still not great I’d guess there’s a leak, often the valves are a weak point and are not checked on a pressure test / regas. My van has this issue, the valves leak and it wasn’t picked up on the pressure test.

 

[Chocice]

It’s been done properly using an ac specialist I think it’s a combination of the bigger car and worse ac unit I would be interested in knowing if other mk3 owners had ice cold ac

My 2015 LWB van is a Renault and that’s ice cold AC as well now. Might not be new enough it it’s certainly big!

 

[Brigsy]

Aircon is working as intended in my mk2 dci, feels pleasant inside with the windows up.

 

[Chocice]

Oh I just had a thought I wonder when my cabin filter was last changed

 

[Bluebeard]

I was smoking round in a 1.2 mk3 clio today and the air con was lovely.

 

[04-182]

Mine doesn’t work so clio got left on the drive today.

 

[DaveDreads]

The Clio is of the road but even if it wasn't the AC was ripped out years ago, the Golf's condenser leaks and let all the gas out, so windows down it is.

 

[Paulie031]

Aircon setup is missing off mine, was like that when I bought it. Me leaving work this afternoon.

In my wife's Modus today which is based on the Mk3 Clio I believe and A/C coped fine with 38C temp. Regassed about two years ago.

 

[Chocice]

I’m gonna ring the ac guy in the morning

 

[DaveDreads]

[Flat Eric]

The berlingo has no AC. It was a killer today travelling to digbeth and back to collect a wheel from powdercoaters
😫

 

[Bluebeard]

Oh I just had a thought I wonder when my cabin filter was last changed

Do that immediately! They should be changed every year really. You’ll be amazed at how much s**t they hold and therefore block flow.

 

[Chocice]

What a huge difference this made, wish I did this last week

 

[cupguy]

Cries in 172 Cup... You guys have AC?

 

[Chocice]

Yup can’t take it out if it’s cold or rains and can’t take it out when it’s hot.

 

[Chocice]

Yup can’t take it out if it rains as it’s a future classic as no rust wanted and can’t take it out when it’s hot as no ac.
