Peugeot 106 AC failure

Hi there, that sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my old Renault Clio a few years back. The AC just packed in. Did you notice any strange noises before it stopped working completely? Sometimes a faulty compressor can cause issues like that. The AC compressor is a pump, driven by the engine via a belt, that circulates refrigerant and compresses it.

Thanks for the reply! I don't recall any odd noises beforehand, which is strange. Just suddenly stopped working. When you say compressor, is that something I can check myself, or is it best left to a professional? Also, did you manage to fix the problem yourself on your Clio?

No problem. In my Clio the problem was eventually diagnosed as individual defective valves in the air conditioning system. Honestly, AC systems can be tricky, as they deal with pressurized gas. I didn't attempt the repair myself on my Clio. I'd advise getting it checked out by a workshop. It could save you money in the long run by avoiding further damage.

Okay, thanks for the advice! Sounds like a trip to the workshop is on the cards then. I appreciate you sharing your experience with your Clio. They've quoted me 1000€ for fixing defective valves. Hopefully, they can sort it out without too much hassle!
