I have a 58 plate astra, 4 months after i bought it from new the air con went. i was told it was my fault because i never ran it enough (i run it at least once a month) i had to pay to get it re-gassed.
10 months later it went again and i was told by vauxhall, because it has happened again i should run it once a week. (grrrrr!!!) it was re-gassed again.
9 months later! you guessed it, gone again. this time i am told the condenser is cracked. when i challenged them about charging me previously, they said it could not have been cracked then because it would have shown up in their pressure test. i was told it is a 5 hour job to replace the condenser.
my feelings are, they did not find the cracked condenser because it's a 5 hour job to replace it and it's esier to re-gas it and charge me for it.
anybody know if a cracked condenser would show up in their pressure test?
