Ford Fiesta 08 model - Air Con faulty - paul394

Hi, bought my fiesta preowned last september and had the aircon regassed as it was not working, totally empty the garage told me. Now only 6 months later it seems to be not very cold at all. How long should a regas last and is this indicative of a fault of some sort.Many thanks

Probably a leak... a regas should last 4-5 years.

It is obligatory to test for leaks before regassing.. was that done?
