Leaking aircon, or maybe more probs?
 

Had the aircon serviced yesterday. When I picked the car up, the mechanic said the system had hardly any gas left (0.08kg). I reckoned it must have been a long time since the previous service job... Mechanic had filled the system with 1 kg coolant, and pressurized it at 10 Bar, according to the service report.

This morning, decided to run the self-diagnostic system (I know, should have done that before the service). Component no.7 (=Refrigerant pressure in Bar) said: 03 At a previous check last year, this value was 12.

Next did a fault-diagnosis test, and these codes turned up:
232 - Refrigerant Pressure Sensor (B12)
235 - Emissions (Refrigerant leak) Sensor (B31)
416 - Coolant Circulation Pump
My system has Software version 60, and hardware version 19

Seems clear the aircon has a leak, but do the other fault codes perhaps point to more trouble ??

Thanks

Those trouble codes may mean trouble, but does the system not put out cold air? Mine runs at 3 most of the time, hitting or exceeding 12 only at a very high load.

Thanks for the reply. The service report says it generates 8 degrees C, but that was yesterday. It is actually around freezing point here at the moment, which could explain a low load.
Another idea crossed my mind: does the aircon's OBD system need to be reset after replacing the refrigerant??
Maybe I'm reading 'old' data.

Without digging out my climate-control manual, I'd guess yes. If need be, I'll dig it out.

I lost refridgerant in my 210 last fall, and hopefully it was a result of a bad auxiliary fan causing the compressor to bleed off. I topped it off the other day when it was about 65 out, and the auxiliary fan now works, so soon enough I'll know if mine's leaking.

In my case, I filled the system until the left vent temperature matched the right. Before adding anything, I had 65F left, 55F right. After, they were both about 40F. Not very precise, I know, but it should be enough.
