Any help or advice welcome!

I had my A/C regassed in April and it was immediately lovely and cold (previously it was lukewarm at best).

On Saturday, I was out in the car and the A/C was ice cold. Today, it's suddenly lukewarm again - doesn't get cold at all.

I've checked for fault codes (none) and I've checked the F6 fuse in the passenger fuse box (fuse intact).

Is there anything else I should be investigating before I book it into the garage?

I’m not sure - I’ve rebooked them to do exactly that.

I thought there was some magical way to make the A/C panel tell you about any faults. But I’ve not been able to make it work.

That’s really useful. Expensive part?

Apparently, it's the condenser that's gone - which I did expect.

Two questions, if anyone is able to help:

1. Where's the best place to buy a new condenser - anyone know of a good supplier?

2. Why did the air con work fine for a month after the regassing, then suddenly go? Should I have expected the garage that did the re-gas to have noticed the condenser problem?
