Someone I know has a Mazda hatchback under a year old. The aircon has a leak so back it went. Mazda want a payment of nearly £200 for'special' air con gas to check the problem but won't do it under warranty. If it were me I'd be raising the roof but this person is unsure of how to proceed. Garage reckons 'a stone may have damaged the system'

The gas used in air con systems has been changed and it is (insert expletive) expensive - HJ has more info.

An initial inspection for suspected tone damage should be done before demanding cash.

A new low emissions gas - HFO-1234YF - should be used in new vehicles for the EU since 2013. It is currently a lot more expensive - hence £200.
