Aircon won't turn on

[VEpilot]

Hi guys
Iv got a 2012 series 2 Ve commodore, the problem I'm having is the aircon won't turn on. The little symbol on the displays the frosty symbol has off underneath it. When I press the aircon button to turn it on it does nothing , even if I turn the demister on which should automatically use the aircon it still says off. I'm so frustrated as Iv just had the aircon regassed and new face vents actuators put in and now this and Iv only had the dam thing a few months. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated thanks guys

Cheers
Mark

Why did you get it regassed was it working before that?
There is Probably a leak that wasn't fixed the first time.

Out of gas again take it back, AC won't engage if gas pressure is too low.

Yes take it back they will see where the leak is due to the dye they added, Holden did this to mine 3wks later I had an appointment so they could see if it leaked & they found it. Rubber hose will be my guess but good luck

Fairylegz mate you hit the nail on the head , I dropped the car off this morning first thing and got a call late this arvo and geuss what he said there's a cracked high pressure hose and quoted me $600 to fix it, whilst I was choking at the price to replace a hose I had to have a bit of a laugh cause as was saying it was like listening to someone reading your email back to me over the phone. Well should get the full info tomoz il let you know .but thanks again for your help

I'm glad I could help lol.. That's cheaper than I was quoted, $780 at Auto Electrician to repair the pipe & gas!! Hate to know what the bill from Holden would have been as they used new pipe & gas, lucky it was under warranty
