nothing special or unique about a/c on a MINI

any decent shop should be able to do a check quite reasonably. Last time I had mine checked and topped off for $45.... most of that charge was for the gas.

If you don't know what you are doing and don't have good tools you may loose more gas than what you needed to begin with.

Well I mean it's not the first time ive done this i just wanted to confirm I charged it last year before I realized the fan was out, so i assumed it vented most of it last year, so I recharged it today and its not going any higher. Its somtimes really cold and other times cool.
