Going to suggest you contact a mobile AC person. The system needs to be fully and properly charged before you can check for faults. |

Kwik fit for about £50 remove the oil and gas from the air con. Pressure test then refill with both why did he remove the gas he had put in? |

Worst thing he could have done I suspect as you must not split the system and leave it open to the atmosphere for long as it ruins the Foo Foo Valve are whatever they call it. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

It's will cause problems if air is allowed into the system. The fix is to do a deep vacuum for at the very least an hour preferably two then recharge and properly test |

My AC developed an intermittent fault earlier this year. It worked when starting the engine from cold, but wouldn’t kick in when starting from hot after sitting in heat soak Aussie summer conditions. I checked the gas and was only 10g under spec (original gas from factory 10yrs ago - driven with AC always on).
