Air con

Karrie

I am hoping that someone on here knows about car air conditioning. In 2005 I paid for a new condensor. It worked ok, then didn't. Had a refill of gas. Worked for a little while (told no leaks anywhere) then it stopped again. Last month I paid for another re-fill, now it's not working again :mad: I think this company is taking the p out of me. Does anyone know about air con at all that could advise me what to do please?:o

Do you have any cold air or is the cold air just not warm enough?

Most places which refill the gas do a dye leak detection test. Did the company that you used do this? If I were you I would be inclined to book you car in elsewhere and ask for a leak test and a regas.

And did you use your a/c regularly over the winter?

There is no cold air just the normal air. He said he did a dye leak test and couldn't find a leak.

Yes I did turn it on regularly over the winter.

Thanks for your reply. Will have to try and get another company to look at it.

Take it to Kwick fit. £45 flat fee to drain recharge and test you aircon.

I did that with Kwik Fit (they actually ended up only charging £30+). The problem is they don't put the dye in. It was a gamble to see if it fixed it and worked for a short while, but has now stopped again so I guess I have a leak and need to take it somewhere else.
