Hi,
I have a 18 reg Tipo station wagon.
Yesterday it was 29C outside, the car had been sitting in the sun for a few hours and was like an oven when I got in. I drove for about 30mins but the aircon never got the slightest bit cool (normally its icy cold) and I had to open the windows after a while before I passed out!
This morning (at a more reasonable 22C) I tried it again and it was super cold within about a minute.
Is this a sign it needs regassing, or is there something else that may prevent it getting cold at higher temps? It's a second hand company car and as far as I'm aware hasn't been regassed from new (unless that was part of the standard services in the first 3 years).
Any insights appreciated.
Many thanks
