I haven't used it for some time and forgot you are supposed to run it regularly..Well nw there is no cold air coming from it.
I don't think I am alone in not realizing that a car service does not cover the air con.
Could I have done a lot of damage and what's. the maximum I can expect to pay to put it right

I feel extremely lucky!
I phoned a garage today and they quoted me £40 to check it out and £60 plus vat to re-gas it if that was the problem. If I went ahead they would waiver the £40.
I decided to give the garage a ring that did my suspension springs and asked if they did the air con and they did. I took it this morning and they checked for leaks and re-gassed it . Cost £35.total. Well chuffed and I know where I will be going next time I need anything done. They also gave me a lift home because there was a bit of a wait before they could look at my car. I shall make sure I use it regularly now.
Thanks everyone for your replies.

Does anyone know the cost of replacing the air con pipe work on a fiesta .
I have just bought a car and thought it needed to have the gas charged but the pipe has become damaged and will need to be replaced

I have just bought a fiesta and the air con isn't working
I had to purchase a type at the ATS and they had a look at it to see if it needed recharge but they told me the tubing is damaged and as they don't repair them they couldn't advise of the cost
Does anyone know the cost?
Thanks
