2010 2.2 diesel auto
So about 2 month ago i bought a 2010 diesel auto, with 65k on clock, took it to ATS today for a airgon regas, they have done it, and said the compressor is working, but they dont know why its not blowing cold, i dont know how long the car has been without working cold air con, they have suggested giving it a few days before getting it looked at by a specialist.
Anyone else had similar issues?
 
How long was the air con machine hooked up to the car for?
 
Was in there a good hour

Okay. Some machines do a fast refill and do not fully test for tightness. I would take it back and ask them to do it again but tell them you want them to do a vacuum hold test on it. They should know how to do this on the refilling machine.
 
Hi there. Had issue with air con. Was fully charged by garage. Didn't last long. Brought back to leak find. No leaks found. Re charged again but same issue. Brought to air con specialist. Found most o rings perished and not holding pressure. Had to dismantle all of the front end to keep following leaks. €500 later air con fixed and still working without recharge approx 4 yrs. Advice was to run air con every journey hot or cold to recirculate air con fluid to lubricate the seals.
