air con re gassing

(1/3) > >>

davidlandy:
The air con on my wifes car is not quite as cold as it should be so i think it needs regassing.  its a '52 plate audi a4 diesel.

is this a diy job , if so how do i do it , or dealer?

anybody know?

TimM:
If your sure it just needs new gas then there is a DIY kit from Halfrauds.

I bought the 'kit' for about £25, and then gas is about £15 a tin.

You can do it as a 'one-off' for less money by buying a combined kit, but if you do it 'my way' then if you need it again yu save as you only need to get more gas  :wink:

Or get it done professionally for probably not much more  :?:

davidlandy:
is the kit effective?

TimM:
It built the gas pressure up in mine no problem at all, so yes.

But in mine, when the compresser kiks in, the pressure drops back to not a lot, so I've got more investigation work to do, must have bashed/cracked something off-road I suspect  :roll:

Assuming your car's system is OK then it will work fine, but just ask yourself WHY it needs regassing? Is it leaking?

If you do get a kit make sure you use the LOW pressure valve  :wink:

davidlandy:
the bit about leaking has crossed my mind - was going to regass then see how long it lasts then determine whether to do anything more.

thanks for your help so far Tim
