 Renault Megane - 01 1.8 Aircon leak detection - Old Sock
The air conditioning on my latest acquistion doesn't work at all - mind you, I didn't expect it to, really!

As a guess, I'd say a holed condenser, but would any leak detection require re-filling with refrigerant? If it is a leak, then that would seem a bit wasteful! I believe that UV-visible dyes can be used to locate where the problem is.

One thing I'm not sure of - should there be any residual pressure in the system if the compressor is not running?
