Air conditioning

My AC didn't work anymore. Found a tip on the forum about putting the 3 buttons to the left,......
AC works again. Been driving for 3 weeks in 30 to 40 °c and no problem.
The only thing is there is a little bit of water ( dealer says condensation water ) dripping on the drivers side.
Dealer says car needs to be 3 days in the garage to fix the dripping and to check the AC.
Anyone any experience with this. 3 days in the garage seems a bit much to me.

Some of the work needs to be done with the car from cold, (especially the bleeding of the coolant circuits).

Lagging the AC pipes requires quite a bit of dismantling - sometimes IA instruct the dealer to replace the whole HVAC box as a repair if the AC is flaky.

I've had AC issues where once out of every 6 or 7 starts I get warm air and very hot air out of the rear vents. The only way to fix is to park for 15 minutes or so and restart. The dealer told me it's a known issue but they don't have a fix. What's this 3 button trick?
