Aircon
#1
So my Aircon was not very efficient had it regassed  at theweekend only had 60 grams has now got 600 working perfectly yesterday and this morning but now is working intermittently and two weeks ago had water in the footwell from the evaporator so I'm guessing the drain tube is either blocked or has become detached just wondered if this would stop the air-con working

Aircon should be a closed system so 540 grams less could indicate a leak.
A blocked drain doesnt stop A/C from working its just the condensation dripping down indicating that the A/C is cold.
If its clogged for some time sometimes it can start leaking due to corrosion.

It's bizarre just came home aircon working OK parked up left it running switched aircon off and back on then compressor was cutting in out every few seconds, think I might try a relay first?

Yes I know but clutch should stay engaged for longer than it is only engaging for 2/3 seconds

If my memory serves me well if the pressure in the system is low the clutch gets disengaged not sure if this still is a thing but I had a picasso with a similar issue.
But a relay can be a cheap start when trying to eliminate

I would take it back where it was recharged and ask them to check the pressure for you. If it's cutting in and out the relay is obviously working.
So where does this bit go then ?
