car air con problem

Car, Mazda 626: the air con has packed up, can anyone advise please?
Have been boiled these last few days, so used to being able to cool the car down immediately.
Car is 6 years old, so maybe not able to fix, don't know much about the system to be truthful.
Any advice would be gratefully received, i can't afford to pay much to have it fixed.

    It may be that the system needs re-gassing, I had this done recently on a Fiat and it cost £99.00. I saw an ad in the local paper for an independant garage and they were quoting a similar price.

    Hope this helps

    Check if local Mazda dealer has any 'special' air con service offer.

    If not, as previous post, plenty independent specialists now appearing.

    Air con is proving verrrrrrry popular & they'll be busy in the next couple of years, 'cos people will forget to use their system all year round - keeping it working properly, that way!!
