Vauxhall Astra air conditioning problem

[matty2670]

The aircon was recharged this time last year and has been working perfectly. The car sat on the driveway for 5 days and now the aircon doesn't work at all. It wasn't a gradual loss, just cold air one day and then none! The compressor seems to be working so I can only presume there's a gas leak somewhere. Any ideas?

If they needed to recharge it last year there must have been a leak. Chances are it has leaked again. Have you had the a/c turned off all winter. If so there is a possibility the compressor seals might have dried out.

Thanks wacky racer, that gives me somewhere to start!
