MrRalphMan Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi, Just found out after Kwik-Fit regassed the car that I have a leak. Seems to be coming from the lower right of the car looking at the front of the car. KF cannot fix, but will regas for free once it's repaired. Anyone know someone good in Essex to get this repaired? Cheers, Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 All I know is the general area... Any tips on narrowing it down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_d Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 lots of options but your probally gonna have to get it re-charged again to find where the leak is, they may put a die in it, otherwise a pressure test either way. Maybe try halfords like chris said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris burford Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Leak was big enough to loose all cooling in a day, 2 tops. Don't know if that counts as a big leak? Hissing is pretty loud though.. I would say if it took all day to lose its gas then its prob not a very big leak and loud hissing would also suggest quite a small hole/leak as their wouldnt be enough gas in the system to sustain a loud hissing noise through a big hole for that amount of time. Hope that makes sense to you im not the best at explaining things like that but i would still try the halfords route if you dont want to go to the expense of getting a dealer/garage to fix it.
