    Econ=no air con.
    You could have low pressure in the system or a failed pressure switch.
    Try having the sir con regassed and leak tested first.

    It turns the AC off, if its on all the time most common problem is the pressure sensor underneath/behind the passenger headlight, its about 40 quid and get a new o-ring while your at it, but get the codes read first as it may just be low on gas, the AC system will just not turn on if there isnt enough gas as it causes damage to the pump etc.
