My air con has never worked since I bought my P38 6 months ago. So with all the good weather we have had and more to come I decided to take advantage of Kwik Fit's "fixed it or its free" offer. They vaccumed 475g of refridgerant out of it and it passed the vaccum test with no apparent problems. Happy days or so I thought. As soon as the guy started to pump in new gas the front of the car was enveloped in a cloud of white gas and the hole in ozone expanded a bit.
Chap said he had never seen that before and had no idea what it was as he knew nothing about air con systems.
The gas was leaking from the front of the car so I am guessing it is the condenser but why would it pass the vaccum test and then fail so bad. Good thing was it didnt cost me and i now know where to take it when i need it testing.

If he knew nothing about aircon systems, one would have to ask why he was given the job of doing the refill in the first place. So much for Quick Fits aircon re-gas. I don't know a lot about aircon myself but do know there are two sides to unit high pressure side and low pressure side. Looks like he vacuumed the high side then filled the low pressure side. Someone that knows more may confirm this.
