This is also what the mechanic that filled up my aircon told me. I also figured it was a good thing to note for anyone performing the condenser fan test, as it has now saved me a few bucks! |

Today member Stocktake has posted that the "demist test" on his 1999 Rover 2.5 KV6 results in the radiator fan running when the air conditioning is completely discharged.

I think we're going to have to wait for more evidence before we can draw a conclusion on this question. Simon

hi Nathan. Glad to note that your aircon is now up and running.nice to hear. can i ask just for curiosity sake: when you did your original aircon test , was the car cold and with the engine running ? also if you can remember , did the heated rear screen light come on , along with the cabin heater blower , which should ramp up to maximum speed ? no worries if you cannot recall .. im just curios, ....

It's possible yes. Suzublu has a 1.8 litre with the MEMS rather than the Siemens engine management ECU. The two may be programmed differently as far as air conditioning condenser fan control is concerned. Simon
