needs hooking up to an aircon machine and checking/and/or refilling.
i think these will also tell you the air con gas pressure through the diagnostic system.
you need a diagnostic fault code check if its upto pressure but still not working.

Hi, I think your on the rite lines looking for an electrical problem. My aircon does not work because it has no gas, but the green light illuminates when I press the button.

My air con has never really worked - and I live in Portugal where you need it ! Every spring I get the gas topped up and it's OK for a couple of weeks - but then it stops. Obviously there is a leak somewhere but the garage says too expensive to find it. Any ideas anyone ?

SFAIK one re-gases the system with gas plus a dye; the system is then checked using a UV light and the location of the leak is apparent.That procedure isn't expensive in itself. What is expensive is if the leak is in/from some expensive part (Heat exchanger or compressor). It might just be a connection that needs tightening or a £10 pipe. Worth a look surely?
