stuckinthemud Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Aircon stopped working recently, worked out it was the high/low pressure cut-out sensor that was disabling the system so assumed that, after 11 years, the system needed a re-gas! One (garage) re-gas attempt with the proper kit, which failed saying the system had a leak. Any suggestions as to where I might start looking? Are there "usual suspects" that cause failures?

Richard Mills Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hi There. I had a leak to find, it is not easy. There are two ways. The proper way is to add a luminous dye to the air con fluid and look for staining with a UV light. With mine, I saw corrosion on the bottom corner of the air con's radiator. Cost me £85 for a replacement... Do it on a dry day to avoid getting damp into the system. Mine still leaks a bit, but a recharge from Halfords fixes it for a year. The recharge cans are £20 but have a £10 return deposit in them. God luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
