[QUOTE="oscar, post: 170309, member: 2757"] if it's any help mate, there was a boy on here the other day who posted a video and question relating to the same thing. his video showed a clicking nose when he engaged the ac system. that sound stems from the coil engaging the clutch inside the pulley. there could be a few issues here, as neil has hinted at relating to the coil or a possible bad earth. what to do is make sure that you are getting your 12v / 4amp supply to the AC. if this is good, then remove the aux belt and the air con pulley to measure the air gap between the clutch plate and pulley. renault specifies a gap of 0,85-1,30 within tolerance. anything exceeding this will be the route of your problem mark mate :) the system will still run, even with a leak. it will just constantly try to achieve pressure but it will never happen. the only way to verify a leak will be to have it re-gassed with a leak check. they'll put a small amount of refrigerent mixed with air and a dye in, and they will watch out for the leak to track it's source should a leak turn out to be the cause of your problems [/QUOTE]
