Hi, I've recently discovered that the air conditioning Olin my car is not as cold as it used to be. I took it down to my local Kwik fit and they regassed it but their policy is no charge if no difference and there was no diferebce so what's the problem with it then?

you'll have to check your actuators as they control hot/cold. one may be inoperative or not working. It can bea cable /vacuum/or electric. i'll send a generic pic along. However we have no info for these cars as they are not sold in u.s.
