Will ge the stealer to check it tomorrow. they dont charge for things like that (checking if it is booked in for a service with them)?

More than likely it will simply need 're-gassing'
Has yours got rear air-con, they are prone to leaks on the pipes that run front-rear, usually just a leaky joint, don't let the dealer talk you into having new pipes fitted, unless they are corroded (get him to show you)
I would run with the ECON switched on until you get it sorted to lower the loading on the compressor Never get mad - get even !!
