Hi all,
new member here, owned a 2006 1.2 Dynamic with a/c since new.
Currently have a problem with the air con. Recently it seemed to be getting cool rather than cold - not a sudden thing, just getting a bit less efficient over time. It had never been touched since the car was new (nearly 5 years).
Had it regassed at a local high street place and now it loses gas to the point where the compressor won't kick in after about 4 weeks. Took it back to where the job was done, they gassed it up but now its happened again.
There seems to be some misting under one of the port caps, not sure whether its input/output line. If I wipe it away it comes back quickly. Is this normal?
This photo shows the possible culprit circled (faintly) in red:
Has the place that regassed the system made an error? Or is it more likely a seal or similar that just didn't like being interfered with?
Many thanks for any help
