Air con issue

[Johnathan]

Hi, I've just had the air con gas recharged in my Mk2 Transit Connect but it still doesnt work. The fan is working and it has (new) gas in but isnt blowing that cold, any thoughts?

Cheers

Is the compressor running?

That's a good question Tom, how do I check that?

Thanks

I'm not sure which type of compressor will be on your engine.

If it has a clutched pulley, you should see the centre of the pulley remaining stationary with AC switched off.  Then locking to the outside and spinning as one with the AC switched on.

If it's a non-clutched pulley then it'll be a bit more difficult.
