Pretty sure spoiler has to come off first if its the tourer. Which involves removing some inside trim to get to bolts

Mine is back up and running after replacing pressure switch. When you said compressor is engaging is that when the aircon guy applied voltage to compressor or when switching aircon on dashboard? As i mentioned above i diagnosed my compressor as good by activating it through hds. I wasn't getting...

Hds is dealer level diagnostics on laptop. If your compressor is engaging you may just be low on refrigerant. Did you swap out your control unit to try fix your air con not working?

The check procedure is specific to the fault code that me and johnnytoxic found after plugging the hds into car. B2980-a short in the a/c pressure sensor circuit was the code. Alot of work involved in doing the procedure for this code, bottom of dash and trim needs removed as well as bumper off...

Check this thread on here from a few weeks ago me and another member got same error code on hds within a week of each other during the hot weather. https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/aircon-issue-pressure-sensor-solved.26216/ I've still to swap out my sensor yet though. Ours is 8th gen bit...

If your compressor is kicking? (You've not said if it's kicking in) and your feeling cold pipes in engine bay then it looks like system is working. So i would guess flap vent system in dash needs looked at

That's great news which would save me alot of hassle and cash so thanks for following this up. What aftermarket sensor did you pick up? And is the system working ok with it? The air con guy I use is as I said very reputable but if aftermarket is going to be ok then that's a £46 pound saving...

I've got same problem and my hds is saying short in pressure sensor circuit. I know compressor is fine as i can activate it through hds. Just didn't want to try replacing sensor incase there was an actual short in wiring between climate control module and sensor. I spoke to reputable air con...

Cheapest thing first would be change fuel filter then go from there. Any idea when it was last changed?

What about looking into sending off somewhere to be reconditioned?

My 2.2 idtec ex manual has the same issue, i replaced bottom rear mount and problem still there. If i remember it was around £230 new, i didn't want to buy used as no guarantee of how long it would last. Found that my old one wasn't actually that worn or any splits in rubber, bummer. I've also...

I'll pm you about working something out

Thanks for that offer but sat is a no go for me. Are you still based in Edinburgh? I don't mind traveling over to you as I've monitored the characteristics of my readings cold vs hot engine and I've found some stuff that differs that ideally I'd like to see if it's normal on somebody else's. So...

Yeah that's what I got done and it was ace until I had to replace turbo cartridge. It wasn't the map that done in my turbo it was me entertaining the kids one time doing a wheel spin overrevving into the red, then my turbo started to whine straight after. I'm just looking for somebody local...

Bump

You wouldn't happen to be on the premier tuning stage 1 dpf off and egr blank map would you?

Might be able to unseize it by taking it off the car and getting it moving in and out manually to get you going for Tuesday whilst you wait for a replacement

Just wondering if anybody in central belt Scotland that is running Fahads dpf and egr blank stage 1 remap on the 2.2 i dtec would be willing to allow me to travel over to have a look at boost pressure readings using my torque pro app. I had to replace my turbo cartridge before Christmas and I...

If the nylocks start to loosen you'll certainly get a warning sign and start to hear and feel it. It's not like an actual ball joint failure where they've been know to just shear off with no warning signs with castle nuts still tight. They usually shear off where the tapered section meets the ball

Starting to get a bit paranoid of these failing. All I'm seeing on the fbook owners page is these snapping off recently on the 7th gens. Just wondering if there's anything to be concerned about on the 8th gens. I check mine regularly and I've still not got any play in them and I'm on 175k...
