Struggling to find someone who can sort my aircon :( needs a leak test followed by a flush and fresh oil before thinking about gassing.
Most only seem capable of regassing and checking for leaks
Halfords and they do money back if there's a leak in the system, watch out for indis not doing it right, sometime they dont put PAG in it to save ££

They'll put fresh oil in and recover the old as part of the regas. My indie does anyway. Normally it is the condenser that leaks.
 
I've not had a condenser fitted for a long time, there could be all sorts floating about :(
I've got a new condenser and dryer ready to go on

Most likely just a bot of moisture and the dryer will sort that. Hopefully there was enough oil to prevent rust.
 
Vacuum will sort the moisture too.
No need to extract the old/ancient oil? No idea how much is in, if any
Part of the regas is they extract everything in your system, run it through a filter to clean it, then put it back with extra where needed. But they'll charge you as though they put in all new. So if they extract 450g from a 500g system, they'll bill you for 500g.

Cheers, RAVE made it sound complicated, with so many ounces of oil in the compressor and another amount in the condenser
 
Finally took a proper look at what was done two weeks ago :eek::D
As well as what is on pic, they also fixed the incredibly irritating intermittent handbrake warning. At some point someone has been incredibly heavy handed, and put enough pressure through it to bend the plate :eek:
CD player replaced and seems happy now :D
Front track rod and track rod assembly replaced. I knew something was off but couldn't get under to see. The difference is quite noticeable . Yaay
New latches on lower tailgate, and trim sorted.

Now I just need to see about the A/C. New unit and regas needed :( Could be worse. Could be Saudi without A/C , rather than Scotland tenor (1).gif

All in all good job and Golden Girl at 19yrs old still looks great :D:D
