How can i fix my peugeout 206 air con?

Firts of all check the coil at the front of the car. It will have 2 pipes coming off it, one with a black or red cap on it. Make sure it has no holes or big chips in it. Follow the pipes and check ALL connections for oil leaks. This is sometimes died in yellow or orange to spot it easier. If all seems well then you have the same problem as everybody else on here. For a guess youve just come to use it after winter time? What happens is the oil in the system acts as a seal to keep the gas in. When it doesnt get run (i.e over winter) the oil on the compressor shaft seal dries, and the gas leaks out. If it has a ruputured pipe or what ever then it needs to go to a garage. If not, go to halfords and buy a R134a recharge kit for £25. Follow the instuctions and it should all work nice.
