Or am I just expecting too much?
My 18-month old FR TDI is the first car I've had with aircon, and this is the first really hot weather I've experienced with it.
On my way home tonight, the outside temperature was touching 31C, and the air coming out of the vents was slightly cool but not particularly chilly. The fan was also blowing quite hard for the whole of my 20 mile journey, and it took several minutes before the air was noticeably cooler at the start of the journey. The CC was set to 20C, and if I'd wanted it any cooler it just wouldn't have happened.
Does my aircon need purging and re-gassing, or am I just expecting too much from it? How often should it need attention?
Has anyone had the system regassed? How much did it cost and was it worth it?
Can anyone recommend an aircon specialist that can do it and keep the warranty intact?
