Thanks Chalky. Yes I am waiting for a call off the garage to get it back in. They replaced an o ring seal last time which they thought was the problem. Hopefully they won’t charge again ! |

Therein lies one of your problems, quote 'they thought it was the problem' Obviously I am guessing here but, sounds like they did not do a proper vacuum test prior to re-gassing. You obviously still appear to have a leak somewhere, they should fix it for free this time - Properly. |

The above all sounds fine BUT, you have driven it for the last 8 weeks, and what's to say there isn't now a hole in the condenser? Unfortunately, the gas in these bloody things is sooooooo fine it escapes from any and everywhere! |

It’s going in later in the week for a check. The garage have already said it’s probably now leaking from somewhere different but we will see. Thanks for the replies . Incidentally has anyone any ideas why one side of the car appears cooler than the other ? |

As Craig says it could be a different leak. I had a similar issue on my D4, took it to a national who couldn’t pull a vacuum so just gave it back… sorry mate that’s got a leak - can’t recharge it.

My money is on a tiny hole in the condenser.
