I have had my surf about 4 month and doing bits n pieces to it as i can and i am now trying to get the air con to work. I have had it to my mates who is a mechanic and when the button is pressed the light comes on but the air con does not work. The motor does not do anything. He put his thing on that sends power to the unit and it was working then but only blowing warm through. He was wondering if there is a cut off in the unit to stop it working if there is no gas in the system. I hope this has made sence but is that possible or not. If not anyone know what it might be ??

Is there any test that can be done to check the amount of gas in the system??
R134a was the gas used after 1993 so the 3.0ltr surfs should all have that gas in, there will be a sticker on on the front to tell you if it's R134.
Earlier systems have R12 which is no longer available, but a aircon specilist should have some available for topping up
Neadless to say an aircon specilist should be able to check it out (for a fee)Bring me the head of a treehugger
