Hi. Got a 3.5 v6 2003 shogun.
Only blows hot air out the vents. Makes no difference how low the temp knob is set or even if the aircon is on.
Any ideas
Cheers |

Sounds like it need's a re-gas, how long since it was done last .., i would'nt use the air con till you have it done, a good aircon shop will vacuum the system out and look for any issues. |

Only had the shogun about 3 weeks. God knows how long it was like that with the previous owner. If it needs regassing suppose there must be a leak somewhere.
Ill have a look took see if I can see any obvious splits in pipes etc if I can.
Wonder how much it is to get it checked and regassed? |

Not necessarily - all systems seem to slowly lose gas over time. Mine needs regassing about every four years even though it has been leak tested and shows no leaks.

Go to a proper air con specialist (or get a mobile one to come to you) - my local garage is good but many ordinary garages are not very good)
My local charges £49.99. |

Not a bad price. Thought it'd be worse than that.
Got to get a leak test done aswell I think.
I've had a look on line and there's a mobile guy near by, who does a leak test, repair, oil? And regass for £50. Think I'll get him to have a look.

They always do a leak test before they will regas it. |

Could it be a cable come loose from the hot/cold knob on the dash .? |
