Case study: Renault Zoe HVAC
This particular Zoe had an issue where following a repair due to the vehicle not charging. When operated, the air conditioning compressor would run up to maximum speed and then pop the safety relief valve on the pump, venting the gas to the atmosphere. This is not good for the environment and your wallet, especially with the price of R1234yf refrigerant! The original issue was, in fact, an insulation fault on the air conditioning pump, which was rectified. Once the pump had been replaced, the system re-gassed and the vehicle was checked to confirm the repair, the fault emerged!
