Hello folks. I bought a 2001 outback VDC several months ago. Love the car but I recently started experiencing a problem with the air conditioner. The problem is that it works only sometimes - in both auto climate control mode or manual mode. There doesn't seem to be anything consistent in the times that it does or doesn't work - e.g. time since I last drove it, weather, etc. I figure its time to have an expert look at it given that we are getting into the hottest time of the year, however, before I do that I was wondering if any of you had experienced the same problem or if there is something that I should know before I take it in (i.e. is it likely a problem that would require replacement of the air conditioner). Any help is much appreciated. Andy
