A/C does work may jsut need a recharge

[Kordain]

Hey, those of us that were chatting about my AC at the meetup, i was trying it again and yup it deffo does affect the engine revs when i turn it on but not a lot and there is deff no change in air temp so im thinking it probably does just need a recharge, if theres no gas in it then thats maybe why the compressor aint working to hard and not affecting the revs a lot when i turn it on.

Anyway, anyone recommend a good place to take it to get checked out and recharged? I dont think george does these ?

Cheers

I too the wifes car to autotemp. I believe it was just over $200 and they guarantee the work for a year.

It might have only been a $100, it was a while ago after all.

They may not do it as if it needs a recharge that would mean you have a leak, if you have a leak it will come back out so be ready for them to want to do a leak test first.


Canadian Tire does A/C, they can't screw that up can they?

When I had mine done they did a leak test, that is why they charged for 2 seals, one to test where the leak is and once more to fix it. It is a good thing the seals are only about $5.

Re: A/C does work may jsut need a recharge

legal?
does someone come and taste my AC?

Re: A/C does work may jsut need a recharge

No, I don't think anyone will taste your a/c but if you have a leak and you just filled it with propane and on rainy day your coilpack decides to arc then you might as well kiss your car goodbye. Can anyone say KABOOM!
