Hello all,
I have developed a problem with the aircon system blowing hot air after a recient trip to the car wash. While washing the car they popped the hood and gave it a couple of blasts with a pressure washer and I believe unbeknown they disloged the wiring harness clip to the aircon pressure sensor on the fire wall. On the way home in traffic on King George's what appeared to be steam started emenating from under the hood for a couple of seconds then ceased. We thought it was the junker Camery in front however a few minutes later the misses and the kids started complaining about the humidity and heat, aircon was doing naugh but blow hot air and the penny dropped that the gas emission must have belonged to us. I turned the aircon off and finished the trip home the the Southern Highlands with the windows down.
Now I can't say definately that the chaps washing the car caused the problem however it seems a little bit congruent with the emergence of my situation. Once home I took a closer look under the hood and found the disconnected wiring harnesses clip which unfortunately made no difference once reconnected.
So if possible I would ask if anyone out there is familiar enough with the tt mk1 aircon system to know what the ramifications of running the system with the pressure sensor disconnected would be? My guess is contined pressure buildup until something ruptured?
Alternatively perhaps the chaps washing the car did nothing and the disloged wiring is a result of a failed pressure sensor?
Any opinions or suggestions are much appreciated.
Cheers,
