Air Con lol

[mcyates]

Erm It not working as well as it should. Got it topped up at Ren Tech last september and its not cold its just cool. Might need checking and topping up again.

In the photo, the thick pipe (on the left hand side of the photo) is very cold but the pipe next to it is just cool. I don't know whats wrong with it. I'll take it for a drive with it on soon, and see if it gets any colder. If not,t hen its another £50 to RenTech for a re-charge. I think it may be leaking!!

Interesting, but I'm surprised you need the air con set to cold in Middlesbrough

Its pretty warm, the smog's cleared and the suns came out .

It was warm in my car as the suns shining on it. Put the Air Con on and it was pathetic.

Well Mike fitted a new part to the air con and charged it up. I then had to get it re-charged again, a week later lol. He then charged it up for free and obviously i've only noticed it again as its warm is today.

I'm going to take it for a drive now, just to see if it gets colder. brb

Right its Freezing, I should have drove it around before starting this thread. I was testing it just standing still revving the engine and it didn't seem that cold. Anyway everything is ok.

Ren Tech should test it for leaks. I got mine tested for £10. Found leak on condenser. Fitted a new condenser £85 and then paid £40 for flush and re-gas. Now it's mint.

only 1 pipe will get ice cold the other will be warm.
now you now its working, its always a good thing to change the cabin filter regularly as they get blocked up with dust etc and will cut the amount of air blowing through your vents. glad its all ok m8 panic over

 

[mcyates]

yeah fair one, how often should it be re-charged.

Normally once every 2 years is about how long it lasts... to stop leaks and keep your gas, compressor and seals in good condition you should run your air con for AT LEAST 10 mins a week, including in the winter.
