Can anyone help

Prince #2 here.......a new condenser, if that turns out to be the problem (Good chance) will set you back around £85 off Egay. Epoxy type putty is ok as Prince #1 said, but at the end of the day the choice is yours. Just grieves me to pay good money for a regass, only to find the system is empty again a few months-or weeks later

We may be mere Princes, but wise old Sirius is King...wonder if he's sitting in Dudley Castle with his right hand man Lord Oil Dripper at his side?????????

prince #1 agrees with prince #2 but, air con is the least of the worries on a rangey!! i would prefer a new condensor but if you know a man who can do a regass cheap in a free kind of way!(only to have to get rid of it all when engine comes out!), then the putty stuff is a cheaper fix! i suppose its a case of doing the properly then a new part is the way forward!

I had a new one fitted on mine....lasted 9 months and had to have it replaced again after it developed a leak.

Luckily I know a cheap regas man......even he's learnt to bring his nitrogen with him to check it first

Poor Sod... worst I have had is a new one which lasted 12months and that was supplied by the aircon guy @ £130. When that went, I got one off Egay and that has been in over 2years without a glitch (Brave words!!!)
Just pi**es me off to have to keep shelling out €100+ a throw to get the mobile aircon guy out-they are few and far between over here. Mind you, he told me that one farmer had his combine harvester aircon filled with Propane to save money!!:smokin::flame:

i could link my lpg and aircon together! extra capacity and added benefit of keepng car cool!!

sorry been snowed under so not had chance to get bak sooner thanks for all the advice
good news know a man who will regas for 30 notes and pressure test it with co2 so fingers crosed

Regass price is A1. Would be better though if he tested with Nitrogen rather than CO2 as nitrogen is more searching..similar to R134A in molecular structure and the next best thing to helium which is the best of all for leak testing.
