patrik Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hello, It seems that my ac is empty. If i check the little peephole in front in the engine bay i can see no liquid or anything for that matter inside the tube. the Ac is not blowing any coldair obviusly. Is there any way of telling where the fault is? (leak, faulty accompressor et cetera). Need some help:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 To be honest the only way of finding a leak if you have lost all your gas is get the system pressure tested with nitrogen. Any air con engineer will be able to do it. Compressor seals are a favourite if you do not use the aircon regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrik Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thank you for swift help! the system seems to complex for me to have any chance of making it on my own. will have to bite the bullet and give to the money hungry ac repair shop.

Marcus GTE Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Did a search as driving around today in 27oC was pretty uncomfortable, so I went to halfords and got a can of ez chill. It was about £50 with the hose you need to conect the bottle but you get £10 cash back for returning the bottle (with receipt) The instructions are pretty easy, you re-fill the air con while the engine is running with the AC on full blast. Wait 3 min then attach the coupling on the hose to the low pressure coupling at the rear right (near passanger) of the engine bay. Press for 3 secs release, shake and repeat until the gauge is where you want it to be according to the instructions. I don't think it filled it fully, either that or I might have a leak, but it now blows cool air rather than warm air like before. Hope it helps anyone battling this 5 day heat wave!
