air con not blowing COLD cold..

[apples12]

hi all

with the weather getting a bit nicer have noticed that my air con doesnt blow COLD cold as i remember it used in the nissan note i used to have... just seems to blow 'cool' air out

are there any 'common' things i ought to look for and can anyone recommend a good/reputable specialist in either Birmingham/wolverhampton/walsall who wouldnt charge an arm and a leg to take a look at it for me?...

cheers

Should be ice cold. Probably needs regassing.

Kwik Fit do it for £49.

A crude way to check is to put it on it's lowest setting, direct the air flow into the car and then wet your little finger and hold it a couple of inches in front of a vent. Your finger should tingle.

As Andrew says it may need regassing. You can get a service kit from halfrauds and do it yourself.

Kwik fit often offer ice cold regass (guaranteed colder than when you dropped it off or dont pay a penny) maybe worth keeping an eye out for.

*Edit

I am in no way responsible for Kwit fits level of competence

thanks for the replies guys


um..i am never ever ever ever ever going to take my car to sh*t-fit again...

in a moment of stupidity i thought i'd have the tracking done from them...pulled into the workshop, the berk who called himself a 'mechanic' kindly got into my car and was revving the sh*t out of it and stalled it not once, not 2 times, not 3 times, but 4 times just taking it on the flat bit before he even reached the ramp! never again...
