Default Air con compressor

Hi all,

I had the air con man come round to re gas my ac today but unfortunately it wasn't that straightforward. He thinks the compressor has died.

My question is, has anyone had experience of changing one of these on a 2000 3.0 S type.

Are there any potential pitfalls or is it pretty straightforward.

Thanks
Mike

Pretty straightforward.

How did your air con guy come to this conclusion?

Did he check fuse? relay?

Many good threads on changing the A/C compressor. Some with pictures just do a bit of searching.

Hi abonano,

Yes, the guy checked the fuse and swapped the relay with the horn relay (same part no.).
We could hear the relay click, but the compressor did not start.

Thanks tbird6, I'll have a look now.

Thanks
Mike

Mike - freon charge may be low (or over charged) - are you seeing any readings on the manifold gauges?
