#1: Air-con Author: Ben.M, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:47 am ---- How much would it cost to get my air-con re-gassed???
It used to work but then the car was sat around for nearly a year without the A/C being used and when I push the button you can see a slight drop in the revs so i'm pretty sure its all working but just needs gas
Thanks,
Ben.M
#2: Re: Air-con Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:49 am ---- would say between £60-100 depending on where you take it
thats assuming its just drained out over time and just needs a straight forward re-gas
if it is a leak thats causedit then the cost starts to esculate quite rapidly :/
#3: Re: Air-con Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:51 am ---- I thought regassing was about £30

depends how its done
we charge £70 at work but that is a full drain, leak checked then if passes is re-gassed with the correct amounts of gas and oil (with combined uv leak detection dye to help easily pinpoint future leaks) and a pollen filter change

Your backstreet "Low Pressure" fillers will do it for about £30-45ish, A true aircon regas removes the old gas along with moisture, checks for leaks and then refills using both the high and low pressure pipes.

Gas doesnt just dissapear as said by other members its because of a leak.

They do actually advise you get them regased every 2 years anyway, aircon loses it's cooling effectiveness over time.

Yeah i can understand that with such a small amout of refrigerant in, just be careful there are MANY aircon cowboys out there. best to check they are F-Gas/Refcom qualified (Y)

Me, if they overcharged/undercharged the system and damaged any of the components
#13: Re: Air-con Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon Jun 27, 2011 11:40 am ---- Then they'd have to pay for it...

I have heard of a certain fast fit tyre place that does aircon damaging the system of a Ford Galaxy by putting to much gas in

Yes, so why not go to a qualified engineer rather than the " fill it up aslong as it works " approach

Drove into college today and was so tempted to stick my head out of the window like a dog, it was that hot in the car even tho the fan was on cold and setting 4, need to get it sorted asap,
