Air Conditioning Service?

[mobily]

Hi all

My car is approaching 4 years old and has 20,000 on the clock. Whilst the air from the air con is still cold it doesn't seem as cold as it used to be. The car did have a major service in March and the air con was given a green rating not suggesting any issues.

How often would you guys recommend having a service and re-gas of the air con system?

People have said to me every two years, as the tubing in the aircon system is naturally porous and will leak up to 10% of gas a year

I bought my focus recently its 2010 and the aircon is barely cooler than the standard fan on its own!

when the air isnt cool anymores the best time to have it regassed if the aircon isnt blowing cold after 5 minutes its usually time

Annually is recommended but when it stArts to warm up id start saving pennies
