How can you run it in the winter when it doesnt work in the winter?

Press the button. Light comes on but its below 5 degrees so it doesnt engage the clutch.

Lights on but its not actually doiong anything.

Having it regassed may have ruined the seals. The system is designed to work under pressure. So when they vacuum the old stuff out teh seals are workingthe opposite way.

I have my climate control on all year round and it works perfectly. Years back I was under the, mistaken, assumption that you only need to use A/C in the summer and I had no end of problems because of it.

forgetmyname, do you have manual A/C or auto climate control?

My 14 year old Puma that's been in the family from new has never had the air con serviced or regassed etc.

It still makes the car uncomfortably cold. I run it most weeks.

I agree. My 15 year old Jag. has never had its A/C serviced apart from one clean of the air passages which made no difference at all. [There was no problem but I took advantage of a special offer just as an experiment]. Of course I use the A/C nearly all the time and keep preaching this message to everyone I know but very few people believe me until their system stops working.
