Here we are, believe it or not it's been sunny in Ireland!! and the aircon suddenly started blowing ambient air. Went to Halfrauds and bought 500g of gas to top it up-result-no change and 50 worse off. Did my bit for the environment and popped the valve on the aircon pipe-zilch, nothing, no gas.
Took it to a local aircon engineer yesterday and surprise surprise there's a pin hole in the top left corner of the condenser, on the "U" bend of the top tube.
Had the condenser replaced with a new one 2years ago after having the same fault in the same place. I know that metal "Thins" when bent but to replace the condenser every 2 years or so aint on-it will be part of the service schedule next!! Have ordered one (New) off egay with 2 year guarantee for £100 shipped, let's hope that lasts longer.
No doubt the weather will now get cooler from now on...just my luck.
