When car is at idle A/C does not work. A complete new fan system/motor was fitted a year ago. When I got the gas topped up before going to my own garage the A/C engineer told me the fan was not working correctly and he suspected it was the brushes. It has been back to my own garage twice now who took it to their A/C engineer who told them everything was fine. Apart from fitting a new belt they said nothing else was wrong. However, the problem reappeared with my wife yesterday and when she returned home the car was overheating and I discovered the fan was not working. When I tapped it gently with the shafts of a brush it started to work and the A/C was normal.

Hello,

It sounds like the fan motor is bad which is abnormal when you just had it replaced so I would say cheap or defective parts are your culprit.

Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when doing the job:

Here is what it will be like for your car (below).

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
