Hi,

I have a problem with the aircon in my 850 TDI - it has been for some time
now. It is cooling perfectly but
the compressor is recycling in 7 - 12 sec. intervals and this makes the car
run a little bit eratic.
What happen is, when I switch on the ECC, the compressor starts at once and
runs continously until the
pressure is 16.5 bar, at this level the fan starts and the pressure goes
down to between 6.5 - 8.5 bar at idling,
and the compressor cuts in and out to stay within these levels. Outside
temperature 24 degree celcius and ECC
set to 22 degree celcius.

Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Cheers Per
