Well worth getting a leak test on your system, otherwise the refrigerant will leak out again. Large leaks can cause a loss of charge in no time at all! some smaller leaks could be as little as a fue ounces per year. Most leaks occur on the high side of the system including condenser coil and o ring fittings. Compressor discharge and suction hoses are also another major leak point. Laws on control of ozone depleting Refrigerant gas including HCFC R134a prohibit a leaking system to simply be recharged hence it is against the law to re gas refrigeration systems including car A/C without leak repairs.

yeah I got my a/c fixed at Protek a year or 2 ago.. still needs to be fixed.

Thank god my head gasket went just before last Summer so I was driving another car during the 30deg+ heat.

Graham at Albert St Automotive in Preston is really honest and does cheap general mechanical work (wheel bearings, servicing, RWs etc) but I think they get contractors to do their electrical stuff.. still cheap though.

Regent Electrical... or something like that.. it's on High St in Preston on the hill.. they do a/c repairs (alot) and didn't charge me to test my a/c and offer some solutions, they seem pretty honest.. (though I haven't had any work done there)

cool. thanks for your help Kaz.

Preston aint too far at all. ill sus it our over the weekend.

might have to bring out the ol' phone book and do a ring around too.

Really any AirCon place should be reasonable i reckon.

Just go have a chat with anywhere, you'll soon find out in a few mins if they are donkeys or not for something basic like that

the place kaz was talking about is regal auto electrics: 793 high st reservoir 94703811

they do regas there but from past experiences of getting elec type stuff done, they were pretty pricey.

[jake33]

thanks ill give em a buzz

where abouts are u located? there is a a/c workshop opposite racepace in bayswater i think - i got my a/c regassed there

would they go to racepace to do it or i have to drop the car at their workshop???

dont wanna to leave my car at any workshop other than racepace....

[crofte]

Ask for a leak test and if no success ask for a UV dye additive will show up small leaks after a while. Good to be ozone aware.

you leave it there...to regas it took something like an hour and a half....i went for a walk, got something to eat, and came back, and it was done

edit: the place is called KSR Air conditioning - 9762 1011 (the guy's name is Keith)
