If it is short of gas, makes sure ever who recharges the gas, pressure tests it before.

if theres not enough gas in the system then the power pump wont click on, probably just needs regasing

Same as above if theres no gas theres a pressure switch which means it will not turn on

Will need gassing, just had my civic done and works a treat. Aircon gas pressure reduces at something like 10% a year on average
t is what 99? So that's 11 years of seepage, more than likely does need a gassing

if u cnt hear any thing easiest thing to do is put some gas in system with tracer dye if still cant feel anything then your pressure switch may have failed to test this you can bridge the switch out if you feel compressor kick in yano the switch is nackered if it kicks in fine with out bridging switch you will proberly have a hole in your system with is loosing your aircon gas. you should be able to see where its coming from if you put tracer dye in or cheeper way soapy water and go over all pipes and everything whilst aircon is running if it bubbles then u found your leak. hope that helps

Take it to Kwik fit, it's £49 for a regas but it's
free if it doesn't work or doesn't reduce the temp by 10c
