fla 8 Posted May 12, 2022 Many thanks! And oiled, cleaned and ready to install again. Cleaned up the endbell with a green scourer, awkward shape so not a great finish, although you'll never see it anyway! Should really have polished the outer mounting flange but again it'll never really be seen. Runs nice and smoothly now, the best its ever sounded tbh.

fla 8 Posted May 12, 2022 By the way, how do you guys mount the relays at the back? I tried velcro but there's not enough contact area. Plus that other huge cable harness behind the glovebox. I've wedged that in with some foam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted May 14, 2022 Fan fitted back now, seems to be running well! This id the broken thermocouple connection on the thermostat which I'm wondering about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 36 Posted May 14, 2022 Where exactly was that mounted? Mine has a probe going into the box. I will see if I can find a picture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted May 14, 2022 On the right side of the passenger undertray. The thermocouple just routes round to the bit covered in black mastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 36 Posted May 14, 2022 I am intrigued... under my black mastic was the block expansion valve where the pipes join to the evaporator. Nothing else as I remember, hmmm Generic picture of this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted May 14, 2022 Actually you could be right about the routing - I'll check again tomorrow and post up a picture. So you don't have that thermostat fitted? I can't even seem to identify it on the Diavia wiring diagram tbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 36 Posted May 15, 2022 Found this, showing the air flap motor top left. Fan speed resistor pack below this Shiny expansion block valve in the middle at the bottom Far right on top is my temperature sensor which has the yellow plug. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted May 15, 2022 Thanks for that. On mine, the thermocouple runs across and then towards the expansion valve, then disappears into the mastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted May 20, 2022 @Cressa, did you not have the thermocouple anywhere on yours? I'm wondering if it is interconnected at all and if not, i'll just bypass it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted January 17 According to Bentley, the aircons with non regulating compressors have the thermostat like i have. Just wondering if any aircon experts can advise how i would connect this one in its place instead. Its got a thermistor as opposed to a gas thermocouple. There are three leads, red, green and black. I assume the black will be ground - is this going to be needed? The old Ranco A10 thermostat has only 2 connections Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 36 Posted January 17 Where on the car is that fitted? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 8 Posted January 17 (edited) Its on the passenger side undertray and the thermocouple goes into the piping housing insulation in front of the evaporator. I think some cars (like yours) just had a sensor in the outlet duct. I was hoping someone could explain whether the new thermostat could be installed if at all..
