Air Con Problems :-(

[Jezz]

Ok - my aircon has a mind of it's own.
I have a 2002 172 with climate control, the aircon was blowing out warm air on min. I had it re-gasses this morning which made it cool for about 5 mins then started blowing out hot air again.
They checked for leaks and it had none.


Any ideas?

Any ideas?

Possibly the refrigerator unit on the side of the condenser ? could be a faulty control panel ?

How much is it to regas it?

mine does this, bit annoying however lately it seems to be ok. when the car last had a service i asked about the problem and the garage came back with something bout some plastic fans + gears had snapped in the matrix which means it cant measure the airflow + temp correctly. £400 dash out job to fix!

i said no, of course!
