Hi all. I have a 2008 Vellfire 3.5 v6. I bought from a dealer near London last year and I’m the first UK owner. I love it!
Sadly the Aircon hasn’t worked since I bought it and stupidly I presumed it just needed regassing.
I recently took it to a generic nationwide garage who did this, but they tell me it’s still not working and their equipment won’t speak to Japanese cars. They advised I need a diagnostic. I have rang loads of local garages - all neg. Eventually I have found one about an hour away who can do a diagnostic for around £90.
So before I take the trip and spend the money, is there anything I can do to check at home?
We’ve looked at the fuse in the engine bay- fine. Audio and all other dash/instrument controls work. Engine sound changes when Aircon button is pressed (after a few seconds lights starts to flash).
I don’t have a book so don’t know what all the display things mean.
Eg can anyone team me what ‘clean’ means next to the clock?? I read a dirty cabin filter can affect Aircon.
Thanks in advance and sorry for stupid questions.
