Friends,
Recently I have started noticing that the AC stops functioning after a run of 50-60 kms on my 2010 Ford Figo. This is followed by overheating warning, which goes away after I switch off the air conditioner. Yesterday, I tried turning on the AC again and within a span of 2-3 minutes the overheating warning came up again. I turned off the AC and soon the warning light went off.
The Air conditioner works perfectly fine in short drives, irrespective of the outside temperature. This makes me believe that there is no issue with the compressor and the overall Air con system must be fine.
I think the issue is somehow related to the heating up of car and there is some part that stops functioning at higher temperature. I am a novice with very limited technical knowledge of automobiles. I request the fellow members to provide their insights on this.
