Hi all,Considering a xsara estate hdi as a daily and found a good one but the air con doesn't work. Do they suffer the same problems as the 306? Or does it really just need "regassing" ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |

They tend to suffer a little less due to the engine bay seeming to be a little better shielded, so its probably only been inoperative a few years not ten  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You can take it to kwik fit who will only charge for regas if it works. And they can usually identify the problem. ________________________________________ Turned 40 and in true cliched fashion buying one of the cars of my teenage dreams! |

If you regas it you'll likely just be making the hole in the ozone layer bigger. My old 306 did have working aircon when I bought it...somehow! ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

The two pipes that run along the front crossmember usually corrode through on the points they are mounted. That's the most common area anyway. I've had 2 306's with working AC so far out of about 7 lol________________________________________ Black power baby!

I've had 2 306's with working AC so far out of about 7 lol I've put new pipes on mine as I was refreshing the condenser etc anyway. Got a big tub of grease to cover the pipes in, once I've done my front end refresh. I actually think it was the spring clip that ess broken on mine. Will get my old pipes pressure tested at some point. ________________________________________ Turned 40 and in true cliched fashion buying one of the cars of my teenage dreams! |
