*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Thanx for that Most AC guys wont fill now without doing a leak test now. It might cost a little more than what Brian said Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Most AC guys wont fill now without doing a leak test now. It might cost a little more than what Brian said Yup i rang a place just before and had a good chat to the guy he said even though the car is 12 years old it should not need gassing as it does not get used up so hence maybe a small leak, He also said while doing it its best to do the filter at the same time. Reckons could cost up to $300 for full service and new filter and any leaks repaired. Cut a long story short taking it into them next week and they will do a full inspection for free and then we shall take it from there, with summer coming up i need my a/c working blowing nice cold chilly air Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmarco 56 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 do it once and do it right first time It's great to see others applying this mantra as well. Nothing worse than doing a half arsed job, and then doing it again shortly afterwards... Good on you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xescuy 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2008 do it once and do it right first time wise words ... Just payed 1000$ for a rust job, inside cleaning and leather recondition and repair. All is super now and I think I'm looking at at many years trouble free so in the end even if you pay more the first time you won't need to pay again and again and again and ... Now, just need to get the steering wheel swapped and I'll be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CamB 48 Report post Posted October 16, 2008 Its great to see your learning...do it once and do it right first time For aircon, do you a recommendation on somewhere? I am underwhelmed by mine - its ok at moderate exterior temps but I suspect it won't make me happy once it gets over 25 deg outside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
