Rifter AC Not Cooling

I have a 2022 Peugeot Rifter diesel with 243631 km. The air conditioning no longer cools and doesn't seem to switch on. Has anyone experienced something similar? I suspect a valve defect but would like insights before talking to the mechanic.

Hey, that sounds frustrating. I had a similar problem with my old Renault Scenic. The AC just stopped working. I checked the fuses and the blower motor, but everything seemed fine. Turns out, it was a faulty pressure sensor. Did you check the pressure in the system? What about the compressor?

Thanks for your input. I have not checked the pressure sensor, I will have a look. Where exactly is the pressure sensor located, and is it something I can easily test myself?

On my Scenic, it was near the condenser, but I am not sure where it is on your Rifter. Honestly, unless you have the right tools and experience with AC systems, I would not recommend messing with it too much. AC systems can be tricky, and you do not want to damage it even more. Just go to a workshop.

Appreciate the advice. I will take it to a workshop and get them to run a full AC diagnostics check. I will post the resolution. They quoted me around 1000€ for the repair, seems to be the valves. Thanks again!
