had my x type a month or so and the air con was working fine, but now it does not get cold, has something gone wrong or is it just me setting it incorectly 

Hi Brian

When was the last time it was re-gassed? I have read the AC needs to be used / run at least once a week to keep it operating at its optimum

i have know idear,one thing i have noticed is the rev counter twitches when you turn the air con on and off so i presume somthing is working

The rev counter probably twitches when the AC pump engages / disengages, just as it drops when turning the steering wheel, a bit more demand on the engine. I would pop it into Halfords or somewhere like that, just to get it checked, I think a Re-gas is about £50 - £60, they should pressure test the system as part of the service, just to make sure you have no coolant leaks.

 

Sounds very much to me that its a coolant leak due to the fact that it as been working fine for up and onwards of four weeks. If you are considering a re-gas the ensure the company performing the task carries out a pressure test in order to establish any leaks that are present.

has anyone used sealer charge you can get seen them on ebay

so give the A/C a go today just to see if it worked and it did any idea wont went wrong
