aircon

after washing the car today, i decided to cycle the aircon, compressor cuts in, then cuts out, cuts in again for about a second, then cuts out, not to cut in again...

i reckon it needs a re gas...

got to be worth a try, all depends how low it actually is. I think martyn used one on the van

[Titsy]

As did Paulo on his Hyundi Coupe...

[philoldsmobile]

did it work?

[55starchief]

I know paulo has had no problems

[HardRockCamaro]

Mike used one on the Neon, worked fine.

Not Halfrauds brand but same concept.

[art b]

sounds ideal, i supose it depends on the size of the leak

Restores refrigerant
Seals leaks in hoses, gaskets and O rings
Cleans system deposits
Improves efficiency
Top up can only 13oz

Two tins didn't work the Astro, me thinks you need to evacuate the air and then fill with gas

[philoldsmobile]

i think it needs a proper service, its suposed to be done every 3 years, and i dont  think its been done at all..

[Rocky]

Sounds about time to trade in for a Chevy

[philoldsmobile]

hell no!

[HardRockCamaro]

At least parts are cheap for these cars, unlike say an Alfa...

[philoldsmobile]

yeah, cheap ish, but thirdgen parts were cheaper....

hope it has a better year next year.. like i said, i really like the car, but its been a PITA

[ianjpage]

ahh cr*p not good it down on gas, but TBH not surprising, all the cars we had from Jap have needed (read still do need) gassing.....

[art b]

[philoldsmobile]
