Peugeot 206 AC Issue

Hi, my 2012 Peugeot 206 diesel has developed an AC issue. It's done 183135 km. The air conditioning no longer cools, and the system doesn't even switch on. I've checked the obvious stuff like fuses, but no luck. Could it be individual valves giving up?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar problem with my 206. AC just packed it in. Did you check the pressure switch? That was the culprit in my case. Like a fuse box in your house, when it blows, it affects everything downstream.

Interesting! Where exactly is the pressure switch located, and how would I test it? Is it like when your pipes burst and you have to shut down the water main valve?

On my 206, it was near the condenser, but honestly, it's best to get it checked by a workshop. A faulty pressure switch can cause other issues. In my case, the system was losing refrigerant due to a valve defect, which ultimately damaged the compressor. It's like ignoring a small leak in your house which can lead to mold.

Thanks for the advice! Turns out it was indeed a valve issue. The workshop confirmed it and replaced the faulty part. Cost me about 1000€, but at least I have cold air again!
