Hiya
I seem to remember some time back someone (I think it might have been The Boy but could be wrong) mentioned that he'd recharged his air con from a can from Halfrauds and it did the job fine.
Has anyone alse done this or have any details of the process?
Mine needs re-charging as at this time of year the windows steam up frequently and as money is tight, I don't wanna have to pay £50 to get it done if I can help it.
Where is the compressor located on a facelift? I'm sure he just plugged in a can and re-filled and it worked fine...but can't find the post? Anyone help?? :question
Cheers
Neil :y

Forget it, the system requires just short of 1Kg of gas (the cans dont have anywhere near this) and needs to be vacced out first (which a can cant do).
More importantly....where has the gas gone....
-
I looked into buying a er-charge can from Halfords. They were (I think) about £30-£40. I decided it was better to pay my local air-con specialist £50 to do the job properly :)
As has been said, they will recover any residual gas then put then put the system under vacuum before recharging.
They will also check for leaks with a flourescent dye in the gas if required.

Do not under any circumstances use the can stuff it will nic nak your system trust me i know

It's a seasonal Kwik-Fit offer, check it is still current-our local one is advertising this at £44.95.
It is mentioned on various voucher codes sites so get internet trawling!
