All that for 50 quid!? You don't travel to customer's homes by any chance? :innocent:. I'll make you a cuppa and everything to make it worth the journey...;)

Your best taking it to a pro as they will perform a leak test using a dye and can also monitor the pressure within the aircon whilst its running to ensure everything looks ok.

 

I had mine done a while back, cost me £50 and took about 40 minutes from start to end.

£44.95 from Shit-Fit. If the system has no pressure it won't be able to be regassed though, no charge. If there is pressure, a leak detection and vacuum test will be included as part of the re gas.

Definitely helps mate, thanks! Not entirely sure I'm gonna let a spotty teenager at Kwik-Fit touch the Supra though. I'll look into it, seeing as leather seats and no aircon aren't going to mix in mid-August!

Simple to use Mas, when you plug it into the right hole! :rolleyes:

 

Basically, turn on engine, a/c on full, open windows/doors etc :)

 

Put the pressure hose on the low pressure hole, then spray in if needed until its in the clear.

 

Dont waste your time or the can trying to fill it from the high pressure end, you'll just cover yourself in crap! :giveup:

Mas ... tbh after I've been using it most of last weekend, I'm not impressed m8. I'd go get it done proffessionally and pay a little more... at least you know its been done properly that way :)

 

Cheers Bob I think I might do as you said and get it done properly as Im sure I always make a mess when touch something in the car :)

 

see you on sunday mate ;)

I think the condenser has gone on my aircon. Would the best way to check be to re-gas it and check for leaks? How much would a new condenser set me back? Apologies for the thread hi-jack, but while we're on the subject...!

 

If you have a noticiable leak in the condensor a pressure test with Nitrogen will locate the leak.
