I just got my 05 mini cooper out of the shop after i got a new airbag installed. All was fine and dandy until all of a sudden my ac stopped blowing cold air, which i thought was weird cause parts of the system were just replaced after an accident i had. Even weirder was that the ac started blowing cold air again only to shut off after about 15 minutes. Does anyone have a diagnosis?

 

sounds like a leak and you lost the gas

does the shop that did the work warranty their work? I hope so.

any decent garage should be able to slap a set a dials on the a/c and check if you have gas.
