it may just need a regas for about 50 pounds at kwik fit
i got mine done at nationwide autocentre they can test if you have a leak
hopefully thats the cheapest option
if not it maybe the compressor or condensor
here is a thread here click below

its common on the vectra c
got it booked in with my mechnic monday for a test and regas im hopeing that will cure it cause this heat is killing me lol cheers for the reply
I get mine tested, regassed, with dye put in so spotting a leak in future is easier for £35 trade.it should just need a regas mate and all will be well again.
It depends if it holds pressure after the re-gas.
I would check for leaks first -
If it doesn't hold pressure, then the most likely culpret it the condensor. It will be pin-holed, and need replacing.
A new condensor should be swapped with it's receiver drier.
Approx £135 fo these, plus o-rings, labour and then, vac-out and re-gas.
I had a new condensor and receiver drier fitted, and then a full vacuum and regas.
Works an absolute treat now
