Intermittent aircon fault
#1
I have recently bought a 2018 75bhp berlingo and the air con didn’t work when I bought it, so had it regassed and pretty sure it had some aircon repair fluid chucked in when it was gassed, it worked great for a couple of weeks then stopped working so assumed it had a leak still.
Anyway fast forward to my mot recently I asked the garage to look at the aircon and see if they can find the leak they put a leak tracer in the system and said if it stops working we’ll see it with a Uv light, again two weeks later stops working and went back in for a cambelt and asked them to look at it again and he rung me saying it works good and has gas in it there’s no issue, worked fine after I picked it up from them but gone to use it again today and it’s stopped working! 
Anyone got any suggestions?

Well, they've used the uv dye, so first stop is get them to have another look over it. 9 times out of 10, the condenser has rotted out somewhere. Alternatively, if there's no leak they will be able to check the system pressure. If that's still OK, it's probably a pressure switch or associated wiring.

You might be better served with a mobile AC specialist rather than a general garage - most garages only know how to do what the machine tells them to.
