Soldato
Car has been parked up at the airport for a week, I didn't notice any issues when driving it home - but popped to the shops later on and noticed that there's a grating noise coming from the vent when the AC is enabled;
https://photos.app.goo.gl/mDwiS2Dpa2AxMZGcA can see the AC be switched on around 4 seconds, I then move the camera to the vent before turning the AC back off again.
I've not let it run for long, but it wasn't putting out cold air.
I'm guessing that noise is the compressor, and for some reason all the gas has gone and it's not getting any lubrication. If it's making noise like that, is it too late - or would a leak check and regas likely cure it?
Is there any reason this might happen if the car has been left out for a week in the blazing Manchester sun
Never had to deal with AC issues before, but my gut would be to call someone like https://www.coolcaraircon.co.uk/contact-us/manchester-north/ rather than take the car to Kwik Fit or similar
