Year of Manufacture *: 1999
Customer complaining that aircon has blown out refrigerant.
Checked presures etc; noted condensor fan switching on and off every few seconds and high pressure rising and falling in tandem. Found that fan was turning in wrong direction (Blowing rather than sucking).
There's no way that connections to wiring plug can be fitted incorrectly and car hasn't been anywhere else for several years. Have cut, swapped and re-soldered cables to change direction of fan motor -fan now switches on and off as expected high pressure consequently more stable.
Any ideas why fan motor direction should have changed? Will have a more thorough look at circuit later. Had a VW a few months ago where fan motor fan in wrong direction, too...
