Air Con And Regas

[SiandSharon]

Hi,

 

Well had my Gal for 5 weeks now and I have to say its brilliant, best car I have ever had, thanks for all the previous postings in convincing me and OH to get one. Had a flat 2 days after picking it up but thanks to event tyres got a great price on a new one, would recommend them.

 

We hadn't really used the AC (we have the digital panel one) it wasn't really cold but as all cars I have owned have different levels of cold I didn't think much of it but it keeps flashing (every symbol known to man) on start up, is this an indication of a fault? Well as the OH is 7 months I got it regassed at Kwik fit (3hrs) and it got cold!! Today I jumped in put it on and guess what it warm again. How can I tell what is wrong? Kwit fit said it might need to be regassed again in 3 weeks to make sure it is topped up correctly, are they talking crap as I thought once it is topped up it should last for a few years at least?

 

Many thanks for any help in advance.

Sounds very much like its leaking.... probably from the condensor receiver/dryer canister. There are hundreds of threads on the forums if you search but thats the jist of it and yup the symbols flashing indicates an error ;)

Many Thanks Miraz, finally got in contact with the garage and they are going to fix under the warranty.
