Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

And today is the day to notice, of course! After spending half an hour gradually dropping the temperature, it struck me that the air coming out of the vent was clearly hot. Not cold. Which is odd for an aircon system. Is there anything obvious that I might have missed - something that would leave me redfaced when the OPC gently interrupts my screams of "WARRANTY!! WARRANTY!!" and points it out to me? Yes, the aircon is switched on btw - the little snowflake is showing.

POST 2Original post

The obvious is that your gas is low or gone. I had a Boxster that did exactly the same and it turned out to be a leak in one of the rads. But it could just be you need re-gassing. You can get it charged and tested for leaks. The last time I did it it cost me £70.00. RB

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The car is 16 months old - so I guess an OPC visit to find the leak?

POST 4Original post

YOu should run your air con at least 30 minutes a week to lubricate the seals - i only turn mine off with the roof down. All or some of your seals may have dried out and the gas has escaped - just regassing will not sort it if this is the case

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OPC Swindon agree. They're planning to re-gas it and add a dye so that when it all escapes again they can see where it's come from. Good, prompt service by telephone and the exact booking time I asked for. Is there any way of making the dealers I use for the other cars go and study there, perhaps?
