Hi all. I noticed a "fizzing noise" during the past couple of weeks when I turn my air con on. Now, however the noise has stopped and no cool air is being made. I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar and could recommend it needing a Re-gas or whether it could be more serious. I've never had anything to do with A/C other than just enjoying the luxury of it.

PS,  I always make sure to put it on for 10 mins once a week during the winter to keep things running so to say.

@valvedoctor46 When was it last regassed? Treat an "I don't know" type answer as "more than 3 years ago" and look up a mobile regas service.

Hey ken. I've owned the car for three years and never had it re-gassed during my ownership. Nothing in my receipts file either from the previous owner. What's the going rate for a re-gas ?

@valvedoctor46 - Not sure since mine is now needing redoing, but I paid about £60 last time it was done.

Had mine regassed during its last service (a week ago). Prior to that it was making a hallow whistling type noise, and wasn't blowing cold at all.

 

Cost me £35 to be hooked up to a machine, have any residue sucked out, pressure tested, and regassed.

 

Now blows cold as ice, and doesn't make any odd noises.

Hey that sounds good to me spiderbarks. Ill need to get it sorted so I can have that ice cold blast before the summer kicks in. (that's if we get one)
