Title: AirCon Issues
Post by: Ninda on 07 August 2013, 11:45:17
Hey guys, i just got my Aircon regassed about 1 week ago, and yesterday on my way back from work it stopped working, no more cold air.

Could this mean that the gas is leaking from somewhere? And if it is how do i check this?

Thanks a lot guys :)

Probably - get an a/con professional (not KwikFit etc) to test for leaks - they usually inject a uv dye which shows up leaks.
Could also be a/c compressor clutch seized - a good a/con guy should sus that if it is the case. ;)

Ok, i will get the garage to have a check of the system :D, although the Air seems to be not AirCon cool, but cooler than the temperature outside, so i asuume its just leaking.

Also i took of the aircon cap near the front rad and it started leaking air out, So im guessing that its leaking from that place?

It shouldn't do that,new valves are available,I believe the small one is a tyre valve insert :y

That's the one on towards the top of the engine. the valve at the front is the one that there's my photo of on here somewhere & dealers can never find the part number of  ::) ::)
