You can buy recharge kits from Hellfrauds and motorfactors now..

Tim-Grove

Can you??? Thought the gas was quite nasty stuff

[Davey]

All of the nasty gasses have been banned and replaced with not so nasty equivilents.. You have to be careful that you use the correct gas though or you will f**k the seals in your A/C system.

Just looking on the halfords website now and they do a can for 40quid. You think that it would be enough to fill a whole system. I had a hose split and all the gas escaped.

The cans look pretty big, and it will be compressed and condensed don't forget

and dontforget you need the exact ammount of gas in there for your system.... would it not be worth getting someone in that knows what they are doing.... £75 price springs to mind for what it will cost you,plus if you have had a leak then the system will need to be vacumed (sp) to get all the moisture out of it first before the gas can be added

theres a bloke in hereford dose mine,called AIR MEDIC hes a mobile bloke.he first empties the system and then refills it.this is the only way to ensure the correct amount is put in.he also puts in a dye incase the system leaks (shows up the leak).if you are anywhere neer herefordshire he may be worth a call.his no. is 01432 279134/07973 526682.i got his number from the yellow pages,threr are a few mobile blokes in mine....

U would need a vac pump before u put gas in the system, if u bang gas in there without vacing out the air first, u will just keep tripping the High pressure switch.
The gas is fairly harmful if u get it on you're skin, as it will come out in a liquid form so u have to watch what you're doing.

if you have lost gas, system needs evacuating ,pressure testing then deep vacuum before recharging.
refrigerant needs to be weighed in to correct amount.
cans may get system running but not efficiently, as refrigerant charge needs to be right.
you may also have lost oil which i dont think cans contain.prices range from £50 -£100 for recharge ,i normally do it for £45,im sure there will be someone nearby at same price .

The cans come with a lubricant..

I agree its a bit of a bodge..but cheap!
