Hi just bought a 323f ba 1.5

Just wondering if it would be possible to test the aircon in the winter?

and

Where is the aircon placed? could someone post a photo with it highlighted

It's a good idea to run your air con fairly often anyway - also, using the air con can help demist/defrost your windows.

I thought that the 1.5 and 1.8 didn't have the air con???

Thought it just had the button ?:?

Could be wrong though.......

Nope it was an option on all three I think

Shaggy's got AC.

Nailed you by ten-fold years, kiddie-winkle !!!

Come on guys... can u atleast highlight it where it is on a pic...
The guy who sold it to me stated that it had aircon... so I need to be quick if something is wrong...=)

Hi Tomas - please forgive us - we tend to talk a lot of kak, but we mean well ...
The aircon pipes in this pic are indicates by the yellow arrows - if you have these pipes, plus the silver jobbie running round the back of the engine bay, you have the aircon hardware. Whether or not it works is another matter. However, regardless of the ambient temp, if you switch the aircon to max coldness and the fan to 4, you should notice cold air coming through the vents ...

[img]http://www.geocities.com/smotter.geo/Temp/AstAC.jpg[/img]

A/C consists of :-
Switch on the dash
Various alloy pipes in the engine bay
A/C Compressor (Under the PAS Pump)
Condenser (Extra Radiator in fornt of the Coolant Radiator)
Evaporator (Behind the Dash)
Extra Radiator Fan
Receiver Dryer (Silver can with 2 pipes, a sight glass and an electrical conector on it)
To check it works, when you switch your interior fan on the radiator fans should start and you'll hear a click as the compressor cuts in, the engine revs may drop a few revs. The air temp from the vents in the car should get noticeablely colder

Or, as I keep trying to tell people, open your drivers door, look down at the sill, there should be an info plate near there which states the spec of the car - a/c yes/no, abs yes/no, colour code, etc, etc.

If it says A/C yes, you have air con!

the 323f 1.5 and 1.8 had air con from the start of 1998, but mine has a/c for sum reason? its a sept 97 one but all the condenser and pipes etc. are there but still cant tell if it works coz its cold as fook when i use my car ! i looked at the original recipt for the car and the cost of fitting it was a massiv 1100 quid!!!! god, the car only cost me a bit more than the air con llol!

Im 17 so one of the youngest club members also!!!

jamie

I turned 50 this week and I keep looking at photos of Nissan Skylines (and Jessica Alba - but that's another story).....

Do I need help?

I bought my F about 6 months, it's got the A/C switch on the dash, but 4 things seem wrong with my a/c unit (thats right FOUR)

1: The air aint cold
2: The led within the switch is verry dim
3: The revs dont increase making me the altanator isnt draging extra current
4: I seem to be missing the lump of air conditioning junk that my friends 1997 1.5 model seems to have.

Why the HELL would mazda put an A/C switch on a car that hasn't fcuking got a/c!!

Why would Mazda bother making 2 types of heater controls/2 different wiring looms when one will do.... Your car will have had a sticker over the A/C button from new

When you switch it on, the radiator fans should start
