Aircon dead?

[deefadog]

Just recently my aircon has stopped working - 56 plate clio 1.5D. I press the button and the light comes on but that's it, no clunk or change in revs to indicate it's been activated. i checked the fuse but it's fine. So what i need to know is, is this typical of no gas in it, or regardless of the gas would i still get the clunk and revs drop to indicate it was on. It's still under warranty (just) so i wanted to be armed with some answers before Renault try and fob me off with a re-gas i will be charged with.

Thanks for any pointers

Air con service sceduals are every 3 years I belive, so yours is due. They do loose a little gas over time and when they do go under a certain level they presure sensor will not let the aircon to be activated.

It could also be a poor connection on the compresser its self, that normally flags a fault on clip.
