Air conditioning Warranty

[Rob24]

Hello
Does anyone know how long the AC is under warranty please?

I seem to have a problem with it.

Regards
Rob

What problem are you having with it?

It isn't cooling the car and I can hear the compressor cycling on and off every 20 seconds.
The condenser fan is running full speed as the compressor cycles.

are you driving on ECO or Normal ? In ECO mode, air-con works on half power and sometimes it's not enough to cool the car down... Also, check the settings and put it on "Auto"

Warranty depends what might be wrong with it; from memory, gas is 6 months but the full list is online and also on this forum, search keywords and it should pop-up.

Ooooo I did not know that and yes on Eco.

But when I was testing it, I switched the AC on remotely (I was playing with my iSmart.

So it was on Auto and trying to achieve 22DegC.

I'll take it for a run on Normal and see what happens.

Thank you
Rob

I always drive in ‘eco’ mode, and find the AC works just fine.

When you turn on AC remotely, for heating or cooling, it only stays on for 10 minutes to protect the battery. Depending on the exterior temperature, it may not have been possible to reach that temperature in the time.

Yes I was stood at the side of the car.
I had the bonnet up and was listening to it.

Have you tried in Normal, is it better? Although, not that hot outside these days ...

Hello
Can't really tell.
I've put the cabin heating / AC to auto and I've been letting it run.
It's been colder than 16degsC so the car has been on heat since.
I'm going to have another look at the weekend.

Thanks
Rob

Just sit in the car set to low and put it normal. If it goes cold it’s fine ? you don’t have to go for a drive.

Is it 12 months or more.

Hi guys, in the winter season can you preheat the cabin and the battery using the application or do you need to go inside the car? I didn't get the car yet, need to wait for another week to get it home.

Silly question but does the A/C control shortcut switch light have to be lit for the heating to work or is it only dependent on the settings set in the A/C module? Until lately I have only used it to activate the cooling when the car has been sat in the sun for a while, and it seems to work. I only ask as for the last couple of days, I have got into the car early in the morning when the temp was below 10°C, turned on the A/C, which is set to 20°C, and cold air comes blasting out. When I whacked the temperature up to high to test it, still no expected hot blast of heat came out. Not sure if it is an operator error, or what appears from other posts, a common fault.

Hello

Yes you can connect to the car with the iSmart app and it has the function to heat or cool depending on what you want.

Is this on ZS or MG4? if you post a photo of what is on your screen when you turn the heating on, it will be easier to answer

It's a mg4 trophy

Further to my last, got into car at 0630 this morning with infotainment displaying 2°C outside after frost overnight. Put on windscreen demister, which also activated the A/C light. Although the blower came on at high speed, the air coming out was less than Luke warm. I was expecting a blast of hot air to bring the car cabin temperature up from freezing to 20°C. Is there anything obvious to check/do before I contact the dealer?

was the car in NORMAL or ECO ? When mine is in ECO, A/C works with less power, maybe the heather works the same way. Try setting the temperature to max C and switching between cabin heating and demist to see if the temperature varies when you use one or the other ...? Check that the car is in NORMAL and not ECO.

(could be that demister is factory set to use less heat?)

Normal
