The reasons for the lack of cooling in the new Mondeo's air conditioning: 1. The car is not started, so the cooling and heating functions of the air conditioning system cannot be used, only the air supply function is available. Simply start the car and then turn on the air conditioning; 2. If the engine belt slips, power cannot be transmitted to the air conditioning compressor, limiting its cooling and heating functions. A new engine belt needs to be replaced; 3. A clogged air filter can affect the air supply capacity of the air conditioning system, reducing its cooling and heating effectiveness and causing odors inside the car. The new Mondeo is Ford's standard B-segment car, offering both light and dark color schemes. The base 1.5L GTDi180 Comfort model only provides a light interior; the 2.0L GTDi240 Luxury Sport model offers a dark interior; the remaining 5 models provide both color options.
When encountering the issue of the new Mondeo's air conditioning not cooling, I figure there could be several possible reasons. The most common ones are insufficient refrigerant or a leak, which could be caused by loose pipe connections or a faulty compressor seal; if the compressor itself is seized or malfunctioning, that's even more troublesome—once the compressor stops working, the entire system can't cool. Additionally, if the fan isn't spinning, or the condenser is clogged with dust or leaves blocking heat dissipation, the hot air can't escape, drastically reducing cooling efficiency. Also, minor electrical issues like blown fuses or damaged relays are common culprits. I previously suggested trying a quick self-check: see if the front fan is running and listen for any unusual noises when the AC is turned on. For a proper fix, it's best to visit a 4S shop or a professional auto service to test the pressure, recharge the refrigerant, and conduct a thorough inspection. Don't delay too long—driving a stuffy, hot car in summer is unbearable.
