air con in freezing weather.
I've noticed the fan is full of ice and packed snow. Should I leave the air con off?

I don’t believe the air con compressor operates below a certain temp to stop ice forming on the evaporator. However I don’t know if that also deactivates the fan. So, I guess you may get as well switch it off as it isn’t working anyway. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I’m on the verge of needing a new matrix too. All the fins have fallen out of mine. There are no bargains to be had as far as I can see. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I had to replace my condenser last year and shopped around by ringing air con specialist suppliers etc and no body can supply one, they are around the £400 mark and come with the frame and electric fan i guess this is where some of the extra cost comes from.
