#1: a/c gas hissing/leaking into cabin after regas! Author: hdipower, Location: LincolnPosted: Wed Mar 30, 2011 7:01 pm ---- Wonder if anyone can help me. Got my 206 hdi beginning of September with the air conditioning not working. Same day took it to kwik fit had a regas for fifty pounds and it worked like a dream. Ice cold. Clicked on and off when it should etc. Then I left the car in my garage for about 3 weeks unused and when I came back to it the a/c no longer had ice cold air. A sound like a leaking of the refrigerant gas leaking into the cabin was all but only when the a/c button was pressed. Now a few months down the line I want a/c. Regas again or is it leaking do we think?

Any DECENT aircon specalist will test the system before regassing it
Pressure test will either be:
Nitrogen pressure check of the system
OR
A vacumm check while emptying it.
Depends on what kit your ac specalist uses.
Should take around 1 hour for a proper aircon system service & regas.

Its not ideal having it leaking
Find an ac specalist, take it in, tell them the full story of whats happened & that it has a leak in the passenger cabin, they can leak test the system safely & see whats needed to repair it.
It MIGHT just be a simple seal failed.
