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.

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. |

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... |

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 |
