Hi all, got issues with the A/C, the temp goes up and the air flow drops. From what I can make out it's the evaporator icing up, also I regularly get vapor trails coming from the centre vent (mini clouds). Has anyone got any thoughts I also seam to be leaving a constant trail of water, sometimes when I pull away the next morning there is still water on the ground, and it hasn't rained Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

looked at the handbook, it isn't very clear as to what's what...... So how many lights do I need showing on the button below the snow flake? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Re-circulate is off, no lights at all so I will take that as fresh air, which should be the least likely to cause icing, and clouds forming in the car And this is now the point where I say HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I would say it is low on gas, had two cars in the past that made clouds out the dash and both were fixed with a regas.... Pete

Sounds reasonable to me, try a re-gas before a dash removal, way easier to achieve

Yes....... lose about 6 inches of ground clearance with that.... mind you at least you'd have a winch to get you unstuck....
