Daily Chat Topic Europe

Next week I will be driving an Opel... because my car is finally going to the body shop to get the front fixed (they should also be looking at misalignment of my front left fender and rear trunk lid... but a bit unsure if Fords qc matches mine ;) there's about 7mm difference between panels)

So when they figure out how to fix my radio (EU software install) and the roof panels it should be factory perfect and I can finally start adding mods to it... my shopping list is huuuuuuuge by now. :-/

Here's mine! Got it 2 weeks ago but I've been too busy driving to post.

As you should be

My BlackArt Graphics personal presentation plaque arrived

Ortho projection, laser etched on to aluminium plate. Customised to match the details of your car.

Its totally pointless, but cool

This weekend the airconditioning just stopped working in my car... It only blows hot air now. (Especially more at driver side)
The dealer is gonna take a look tomorrow, as I was already booked an appointment for replacing the pony projection lights. (For the third time :( )

That looks nice!!!
But may I point out a small fault...
Ford's chief engineer is called Dave Pericak and not Perciak

Had the same problem last year and again this year ... !!

Dealer took the car for inspection but found nothing wrong on the car. They recharged the air conditioning and now it works fine again ...

My airco is also weak at the moment.

And doh! on the name!

got my car back!!! it looks grrrreat... new clean bumper and grille and they fixed the very minor misaligned front side panel and the lowered trunk...

now I just need to decide between the Sto'n'sho or Craig's Custom bracket before the popo gives me a ticket for driving without a front license plate... :-/

Just got back from the garage, airco is recharged and no leaks found so far.
They added a UV liquid that lights up for 2 weeks, so I have to go back before that to check for leaks again. Yesterday they had one as well and there are a few more who called in for the airco, so it might be a common issue.

[MENTION=14076]Notes[/MENTION]

Mine has the same symptoms as yours and was diagnosed on Monday at my local dealer.

They have ordered and will replace a 'regelklep', whether thats in the engine compartment or in the interior im not so sure.

Friday in the torrential rain trip to Lux my airco would blow hot humid air, I was wiping the window with my hand until my copilot could get the cold air to blow. We finally just left it on max until arrival. Thought it was just me.

I find this to be very strange. My AC works like a freezer!

RMS550 and LordThunder both have problems. Both have an EB so perhaps something to do with that?!

My AC works pretty well, or at least it works still identical to 1.5 years ago

Mine too. It works great! Fingers crossed...
