Aircon re-gas

[barker22]

anyone had it done on a sport. worth it, how much is it and wheres best to get it done.

 

[ABOO]

Never had it done on Clio, but 2 golfs in he past. Cost about £55, and made a massive difference. Don't realise how crap it's performing till re-charged!!

if you use your air-con a lot it's worth having it done.

majority of independent garages now offer air-con regassing, they're maybe a local air-con specialist worth contacting close to you.

failing that i'd imagine the likes of kwik-fit and the nationwide autocentres willl be able to do it.

normaly around £50

 

[barker22]

hmmm, didnt want to spend £50. is it diy-able. halfrauds sell a refill for £30 think. how would one go about such a task so to speak.

Yeah i used the halfords one, it's easy to use but didn't work for me as my system had a leak and it all come out again , worked for about ten minutes though

 

[l1clio]

Yes, definitely worth it. Had mine re-gassed a few months ago and it icey cold now - roll on summer

Done at a local garage. Cost £60 inc service and clean of aircon system. They did a leak test first before re-gassing. If a leak was found in the system and I didn't want to fix it or top it up, then the leak test would have been free. Can't say fairer than that.

£50 is a reasonable price. You have to be licenced now, so expect prices to creap up soon.

Surprisingly, Kwik fit were the cheapest i could find

 

[koi]

So £50 is the going rate for this then? Anyone here had it done by Kwik Fit?

Now that the weathers getting better think I should get mine done.

 

[sussex_gti]

Think Kwik fit dont charge if they find a leak. If anyones in the Hastings area I'll do it for £25.

 

[Gray]

A local garage advertises the service for £40

Yep, and there's a new license that anyone that does air con has to have starting from July too.

 

[badgerbite]

not all kwik fits will do it mind. Reno will do it for £65 all in - not bad price tbh seeing at it lasts years in UK.

 

[LeeP86]

we do it for 39.99

The halfords DIY kit is a waste of money if there is something else wrong with the A/C system. It's best to go to a A/C specialist who also has Renault diagnostic tools. £50 -£60 is about the going rate. Kwik fit do it cheap on special offers sometimes but you also have to put up with their other antics.

Where do you lot live!?!?!?!?

I had my old 225 and my girlfriends Ignis Sport at a local independent garage and he charged £25 per car for re-gassing which included a leak down test aswell

You must be a regular there for that price.

 

[Mark51]

lol, first time ive had the luxury of a car with aircon. The aircon in my previous car involved winding the window down

 

[Leeshez]

I had mine done. It cost me £0. My brother did it.
