    Default Air/Con problem

    Hi guys


    Had my Air Con serviced a few months back, all was working perfectly etc

    Went on a holiday a few weeks back and the car wasnt used for 1 week, come back from holidays and the air/con is no longer cool

    It turns on fine, the fans work fine, and i can hear the compressor kicking in when started.


    Any ideas on what it could be? Can the gas leak the entire contents in one week?


    Thanks in advance.

    If the leak is big enough it can leak all the gas but if there is no gas the compressor shouldn't kick in due to the low pressure switch. Check to see that the heater tap is working properly because if it is not stopping hot coolant from flowing through the heater core the aircon can't do it's job as hot air and cold air will mix and make warm air.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
