Air Conditioning not working?

I´ve got the latest model Seat Ibiza(04 plate), 1.2 engine. Since I´ve had the car I´ve had no trouble with it at all, touch wood, but say three times over the past couple of years the air conditioning has failed to work. Instead of pumping out cold air, it produces HOT air. At first I thought it was a one off, or that I hadn´t switched it on properly, but the other day the same thing happened. As I say, it´s only happened on very few occasions, but does anyone know why this happens? Is it normal for aircon not to work on the odd occasion?

Answers:
go have it checked out. If its not working you probably dont have any freon in your system. you might have leak.
dont worry u wont need it for a few more months!!
Ac compressor is probably working intermittently. When it stops blowing cold see it the compressor clutch is engaging. If it's working intermittently get the freon checked. it may be low. Or somewhere in the system there maybe a restriction.Like the orifice tube may need a new filter in it
Seat Ibiza? Oh god. sorry I can't talk to you..
This happened to my sister, she had to get a sensor replaced.
Good its the worse thing you can have for your health, get rid of it.
Don,t panic, the air con needs re charging. It is fluid that makes it work, two years is about right. Will cost about £30-£50 to get it recharged. Look in Yellow pages, there are mobile persons who come to your house and do the job while you lie in bed. Don't forget to run the air con even when it is cold to keep the motor from seizing,
A 1.2? I didn't know they had air conditioning on lawnmowers.
