Losing my cool on my Golf GTI - Starman
I bought my car last spring and i used the Aircon back then and it was only blowing normal cold air and i took it back to the dealer and they said that they forgot to put some sort of fuel for it. I only used during last summer for 2 weeks max and 8 months later (well today) i've to use it today and its now blowing normal air which is annoying .. can anyone shed me some ideas why it has happened again?!?!?...

cheers

The system will probably need regassing , if you do not use the aircon at lest once weekly for 5mins apparently the compressor seals start to leak among otherthings , do a search on aircon

Read your handbook! Use your aircon regularly or regret it. You will find that even in winter that it has benefits. You are about to find out via your pocket what not to do re aircon!

Sounds like you got a leak, my friend. The garage just regassed it to shut you up, and now it's all leaked out again. Take it to a specialist to get it properly leak checked before you waste money on more regassing.
