Angarak Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 ...the damp dog that was living in my air con that is Went to Halfrauds, bought some Comma Air Con Cleaner and let it do its business. Then went for a 60 mile blast up/down the M6 to make sure it was definitely gone...and lo and behold no more damp dog Well worth the £11 I spent.

edge Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Is that the stuff you set off in the car with the air con running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 If you buy the aircon regas (circa £40 I think) then you get the aircon cleaner free. Bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 make sure thats the right gas for your car. AFAIK it isnt Why is that? I'm pretty sure I have seen people on here have used it..... It's R134a so time for someone to dig a manual out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Im actually gettting my Air Con regassed by a pro ("Cool Wheels" in St. Helens this week). The type of connection denotes the kind of gas used. If the connection is like an oversized bike tyre (ie: threaded on the outside) then it uses the old gas (which is now banned), but there is a substitute though it costs around £85 for a re-gas as its a slower process. If you have a connection that looks like a quick release collar (i.e. not threaded on the outside) it should use the later gas which I believe to be R134a...which is around the £50-60 for a re-gas. From what I've read on the forums, there should be a sticker somewhere in the engine bay that specifies the gas used. If your unsure, best taking it to a pro.

Havard Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Just been and looked at mine! It has a SS collar and a thread on the inside. The questions still remains........can I use this Halfords stuff. Then again, after reading Angarak's post, I am in Wigan so taking it to St Helens and paying an extra £25 for a bit of piece if mind sounds attractive!! H.
