monkey76364 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 was quoted approx: £250 to recon my compressor (could be more) 8 hours labour = £360 New drier/filter = £70 leak test & re-gas approx £60 to a total of about £750 am seeing if I can get this done a bit cheaper, but still gonna be at least £500) J Jesus, for that price I think I would stick to opening the window if I got hot lol;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Do a search, ive mentioned it before. IIRC its something like 750g. In the manual it states Specified amount: 700 +/- 50g so 750g would be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 i am a fridge / air con engineer so i have all the gear i need in my van. i pressure tested with ofn (oxygen free nitrogen) up to 150psi, then i have a vac pump to pull it down. i have never had any experience with the disposable bottles but if you put it in too much too fast you can damage your compresor by giving it liquid instead of gas. plus you need a set of gauges so you know what is goin on in there! *makes a note for when mine needs doing again * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 It's also generally favourable to the system to run it now and then even through winter, the biggest cause of problems is when they aren't used for 6 months of the year or in UK 10 months of the year.
