Problem no2. is that the aircon doesn't work.  Hasn't since I owned it so I got it regassed just to see if it cured the problem.  It worked perfect for a day and after being left overnight, died again.  Probably one for a garage to look into as I know nothing about aircon but who knows, maybe an aircon guru on here that could point me in the right direction or recommend a specialist?


Hi there,

We were concerned to read your comments about the air con re-gas. Please take your car back to the Kwik Fit centre and explain the situation. We do have a '
Cooler air-conditioning or your money back' guarantee.

Kind regards,

Gerry

Cheers for the explanation.  Makes sense why somewhere like Kiwk Fit wouldn't notice a problem.

I've got a great local independent that I use for everything I can't/wont do myself so will get it over to them when I get the chance.  Seems it will never get done as I'm always at work...

That's where they went wrong.
Air-con systems work under pressure, not vaccuum.
The gas gets blown out under pressure, while vaccuum testing (unles it is a pretty bad leak) can actually close-up the hole/slit or whatever.

Wecome to NPOC,
 
Kwik Fit do a vaccuum test. If it fails, they won't gas. They do not do air con repairs.
I am sure someone on here got a refund after it failed within a couple of weeks.
 
A proper aircon place will put a UV dye in with the gas. This helps finding slow leaks.

You're probably right but as said, it was over a month ago now.  I'm sure they wouldn't even give me the time of day.
