I own a 2003 Honda Jazz ISDI from South Africa.
My aircon is giving me problems. When i switch it on the compressor does kick in as i can see the revs drop and hear it. But it does not blow out cold air. Then if I drive it goes cold for a minute or two then blows out normal air for a minute or two and then goes cold for a minute or two and so it goes on the whole time.
I took it to Honda and they sent the Jazz to an audio and air "specialist" and they said I have to replace the Compressor Pump and Condensor as the are both faulty. It does not sound right to me. I am thinking of getting a second opinion as it cost an arm and a leg to get them replaced. R7500.00 thats about 750 US dollar!
Has anyone had this problem before! Before this problem started I sometimes could hear the radiator fan being noisy when the aircon was on for a long time. almost like a bearing that was worn! If the car idles with the aircon on it doesn't blow out cold air but as soon as you drive, esp on the freeway, it goes cold-normal-cold-normal-cold-normal.
