    I want to be cool but ..

    I`ve decide to sort it out my air con this summer and be (3B 91)
    I have to to re-gass my system and see if everything is fine, but before that I need to find out why radiator fan does not stop when air con is on?
    does anyone had the same problem?
    any suggestion where to start?
    thanks,
    Rob

    Rob do you have manual A/C or do you have Climate control?

        As far as I'm aware, when you swith the air-con on, the fan activates to pull air thought the air-con rad, as it is in front of the normal rad. It doesn't spin at full speed, more like half speed, or the same speed as when the run-on pump is activated.

          Fan is on all the time the a/c is otherwise the condenser will overheat and reduce cooling on the evaporator. No fan=no cooling (except when in warp factor 2 or winter time)
          Mick the fridge.

              Yep - radiator fan runs permanently at speed#1 when air-con is ON - it's to help pull air through the condensor.
