I had the aircon topped up a few weeks ago and it only seemed to work for a few days, then started just giving out 'cool' air .... so straight back to my local garage with it.
They found, after doing a pressure test and not the original vacuum test, that the condensor rad was leaking. In fact, it had 2 small stones embedded in it!! The grill under the number plate has quite large holes in it, and so stones and other small'ish bits can go straight through and damage the condensor!! I think some mesh type of grill is in order now.
£278 for the condensor rad, £90 for the gas service (again), and £94 labour !
And on top off all that, the engine light has come on showing a EGR fault ... arghh!!!!
