Air con issue

[W202 MAN]

Hi Again guys new issue with my 202. looked around on the forum for similar issues but there not exact. Basically when i turn of the E.C button the air con doesnt kick in before i used to press it the red light would go of and the engine would readjust its revs to compensate for the air con coming on. Now i get nothing, am thinking there was something wrong from the start, when it was working it used to almost stall the engine when turning on the aircon. Any ideas??

do you need regassing r134 or something might be wrong with your ac compressor?

yes you have lost gas some were and need refilling most places do a vacuum test to check before refilling and use a green dye in in case you get a leak they can find it
