Hi not sure if this has been posted before but im new here and stuck with no ideas what could be wrong with my air con

i have seat leon fr 2015 mk3 the air con began to push warm air out so i booked it into a local garage who diagnosed it as a faulty condenser so i had to replaced and the air con worked fine.

It then suddenly stopped getting cold about a month later i took it back to the garage and it was diagnosed again to being the condenser being faulty so it was replaced once more and the air con was working fine for the last 3 weeks.

while its been the hot weather lately it seems to have happend again its lights up on the control panel but the condenser does not kick in its been like this for 5 days just gives out cold air but not icey cold then it suddenly kicked back in on Thursday i dropped it back off at the garage for them to check it but it has come back with no faults and they could find nothing wrong with it they have put a dye into the system to see what happens.

i have tried it today and the condenser does not even kick in

is this a common a/c fault where it seems to be intermittent?
Thanks

Hi google car air con specialist near you and take it to them most specialists are mobile now too so will come to you.
get someone who knows what they are doing to diag and repair it. Cut your losses with the other garage and next time just take the car to the relevant specialist as in the grand scheme of things it would have worked out cheaper for you to do so as your paying twice to have it repaired now.
