Been driving around with the air con on the past few days, for the first time in my ownership, and last night it finally kicked in and made a horrible scraping sound. I turned the car off and left it alone!
Today, I've just driven 30 miles in heavy traffic with the air con on, and when I neared home I realised the fan hadn't kicked in, and the car was smelling 'hot'. I got home, left the engine running and the ac up full and popped the bonnet.
Looking at the fan, I found a rubber pipe (looks like a breather from the engine) wedged in the fins. I pulled it out and voila - one screaming fast fan!
Only question is, where does this pipe secure into? I've looked and can't see any clips. Am I ok to cable-tie it to something, I presume pointing down?
Sorry for the bad pic, if you need I can take some more. It's the smaller pipe, not the air intake pipe...
