Have a 2012 x250 ducato fitted with an aftermarket eberspacher cab a/c system - std-9280 fwiw.
To cut to the chase although fully gassed and leak checked the air con only works reliably when not too hot - over 25C or so it becomes unreliable or stops working - basically stops working when too hot.
Mailed eberspacher on the back of which took the vehicle to the local agents yesterday. Checked the system over, regassed, worked fine when stationary but as soon as I drove it home system cut out. Waiting a call back from the service chap which suspect may drift into Monday.
Anyhow have a suspicion it maybe related to the engine cooling fans. A quick 5 minute look on the drive showed the a/c was cold when the smaller engine cooling fan ran but the a/c was not cold when it did not run. Not sure if the fans are directly or indirectly inhibiting the a/c system.
If anyone has had similar experience or advice would be keen to know.
