After owning my first alfa for just 6 weeks i have learnt that Alfas are like women " unreliable and cost a lot to maintain". DISCLAIMER "No offense to female forum readers or any women as a matter of fact"

Anyways last Sunday night i got into my 166 V6 3.0l, after dinner. when i started the car it came up with "air conditioner faulty" i have been to check whether it needs gas and its fine. any suggestions???

cheers

I've heard of messages coming up like that for no discernable reason.

I'd say don't worry about it - its confused.

On the 166 there is a small grill to the left hand side of the steering wheel. Behind this grill is a small sensor with a small fan. This is the interior temperature sensor, once you pull the grill off get a damp cotton bud and clean the sensor of all the grime , fluff and dust. This sensor can cause the Air-conditioner faulty message and a quick clean of it may solve your problem.
