Mr-Will

Thanks for all the advice. I understand that it is a legal requirement to have the air con pressure checked before recharging. The recharging is legal if it's been tested hence being able to buy it from Halfords. It's also a consideration that the oil to gas mix might mess things up so it's a good idea to drain the system first. With this in mind it doesn't look more complicated the refilling a gas cigarette lighter?

Thanks @Warrior193 , my understanding is that the updated R-1234yf has smaller molecules then the more pouting older version R-134a. This is a bit like a kids helium balloon loosing it's lift after a couple of days because the smaller helium molecules escape through the membrane of the balloon. As a result the aircon system starts running low after a couple of years and needs topping up after five years. It's sensible to make sure there are no leaks etc before doing anything but has anyone got any knowledge. Just let me know if air con is taboo

Thanks for the info @Paws4Thot . I would never guess it was illegal but I suppose this makes sense as it's a flamable gas. So, for entertainment purposes only it a simple procedure, I've been quoted upwards of £130 for a top up at kwickfit.

After a couple of warm days in the UK I noticed my air con makes no difference, not great for the German Shepherd. I'd like to top it up with R-1234yf but after researching I'm getting mixed opinions. It looks pretty straight forwards and there's a decent saving doing it ones self. Has anyone got any advice?

A bit of a late follow up... I needed to replace the PCB and the ribbed tubing. The PCB is a known issue and the part was updated a coupe of years back. The ribbed tubing was just unlucky...!

Bingo! Thanks MrAdamwood, you are a star!!! I inspected the tube and while the ribbed tube looks ok the join has a hairline split. I'm uploading a few pics to identify the part and also help anyone with similar issues. I won't know if this was the issue but will definitely report back when I've fixed this. Any ideas on what the part is called? I'm not sure if I should replace the whole tube (marked with a red line) or if I should just replace the plastic join tube. I feel like replacing the whole tube would be best.

Apparently the tube is fine. I've found several videos where it looks exactly the same, it feels secure but looks sus... Thanks for the link @Tetley, the dip stics and oil cap are clean and fitting securely. Any other ideas welcome..!

Thanks Nigel, I've posted in the Karoq forum so hopefully more reply there (should i close this thread?). The Emission Control System sensor light is also on, is this a clue? The oils splats are from me topping up the oil though it wasn't below the level. I checked the oil cap and dip stick and the seal is fine.

Hi good people of BRISkoda. I've got an EPC error with my Karoq. It's a 6 week wait to get a booking at the local garage so I thought I'd have a crack at fixing it myself. Unfortunately it turns out I'm a total novice and need to ask for help. I used a basic diagnostic tool which shows it as a P2279 error, when it's cleared it returns fairly quickly. I've done a rubber glove test and it's got a strong vacuum. The oil levels seem fine with no noticeable increased consumption. Here are the model detail. Model KAROQ SE L TSI DSG / Year of manufacture 2020 / Gearbox 7 speed SEMI AUTO I've inspected the engine and couldn't seen anything that looked out of place or producing a noticeable hissy sound. Attached are a couple of images showing a tube that looked a little loose but I wan't sure if it was supposed to be like that. What do you think? Any advice on diagnosing this would be massively appreciated. Thanks loads! Will
