Aircon Regas Saturday

AlexD333 · 18-06-2014, 13:12

So the time has finally come, I am working this Saturday, and the aircon chap is in too

Im gonna ask him if we would be kind eough to do a regas for me

Now i do appreciate this is "gay" and sad but im baking hot in this heat and need some CHILLLL

Im hoping there is no major obvious leak, when i press the A/C button the idle increases, if i press the "MAX AC" button I just get a warm strong fan blowing.

Dont get too excited all, I await your responces

Sounds like u have a leak in high pressure side so it could be condenser or the pipes just above passenger headlight where there is a foam and a clamp if it's the pipe with the fill shader it's £89 +vat for that very short pipe condenser is bout £100+ vat just hope it's just a natural loss of gas did my pipe bout 2 years ago and still going strong I also got friend to vac test and fill for free😆
