    Default air-con not cold

    It's getting warmer and I noticed my 57 plate 1.9 (150) A/C wont blow cold air. I was hoping as it's done a load of miles that it's never had a re-gas. So at my work I attempted to re-gas,there was no gas in the system and it would not hold a vacuum which means it must have a leak somewhere.

    So does anybody know if there are any weak points on the A/C system ie condensor-evaperator or certain pipes?

    Do you know what the fault was with the condensor?

    I assume it wasn't stone hole as it would not be warranty. Is there a potential weak point on the condensor?

    That all depends on the person inspecting the car and what they pit in the report.

    Yes that "could" be the case, that is why I asked. What I'm asking if anybody has a sensible answer is is there any weak points on the A/C on these to save time looking?

    check the bottom drivers side of the radiator.
    as mine was rotten and it had leaked all the gas out.
    i put up pic's of the radiator on here.
