SLK 55 air con issue

[clarki]

So, my slk was in for an MOT today.

Passed no issue but whilst picking up the mechanic asked me if I knew the aircon wasn't working.

TBH I had no idea. The car is a 2015 and for one reason or another hasn't been used much. Yet to hit 10k miles.

He reckoned it just needs a re-gas. Does this seem likely or could there be something more serious? And where would I go to get things underway.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks folks.

Will look into a rest/diagnostic reader. As said. Could be worth its weight.

Had a similar issue with our 7 year old Yaris back at the start of the year. Refilled in with a recharge kit from STP and it's been ice cold ever since. Was a fairly simple operation after a few you tube how to videos.

Quick update in case it helps anyone.

All it needed was a re-gas. Phew!!

As mentioned earlier I was advised to use the aircon regularly to keep the system just so. Every day is a school day.
