AIR CON LEAK?
NeilWilson:
Had my 300TDi regassed last week for £60, nice & cold now, the system was totally empty of refrigerant but seemed to hold up the vacumn & over pressure test okay.

I suspected it needed re-gassing, but I'm no expert (not even close!).
What I'm wondering is whether anyone knows someone or somewhere that I can take it to have it checked and / or the work done.
Anyone :?:

A lot of people tend to forget the air-con until the heat wave arrives. Result - it don't work!
If the system is not used, the seals on the compressor shaft can dry out from lack of lubrication, and this is where the gas escapes. It is a good idea to use the system occasionally (weekly for about 20 mins) to circulate the oil.
Once the engine has warmed up, the air-con makes for a very effecient de-mister in winter - try it!
