Re: Aircon delay

I think is one of them, just need to find out brand of the compressor so you can get the correct valve. Need to drain gas out the system first. Image

Re: Aircon delay

Let the car cool down and started up again, nice and cold after 30 sec, so why such a huge delay after car has been parked for few hours?

Re: EPB issue

I had few weeks ago same problem but mine was down to ABS problem but why don't ask me I just don't know, had a fault with rear wheel abs sensor and triggered EPB, been fine ever since. Might be just build up of poo around motor.
