Featured Replies

My aircon doesn't pump out cold air scince ive had my car. Been thinking of buying a can of aircon aerosol. Does anyone know where the intake nosel is? Think I may have seen it, looks like a red valve near the oil sump no to sure though.

generally run around front slam panel there will be a thing black cap on a branch off the pipe and a thick one again with a wider cap (sometimes with a dent in the cap)

you want the thick one

Waste of money ! if you have a leak it will just disapear, plus it is ileagal to allow the gas to the atmostphere.

Take it to a air-con expert as it could be a number of things, seals leaking, a hole on the pipe, and the compressor, or there might be enough

gas, but a problem with a presure switch.

So your can of might be a waste of time !

As said many times on this forum, air con gas is measured by weight ( the correct weight is on a sticker on the slam panel) NOT by pressure as per refill can.
