I read a few feedback from people that that have used these recharge bottles and they have had very good results  Anyone used them for Omega's 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I don't think they work......

I heard different, rubbish results 

[omega3000]

For the canister and adaptor its about £54 but dependent on how much gas needed it can be used many times over , reviews/feedback are very good

If you shop around you can get your AC recharged properly for less. ATS £46 for example.

Er no, most cars need a half kilo of gas, the Omega closer to 1kg..............so I have never seen them get even close to being cheaper or worthwhile.

And lets be honest, you don't just 'top' you gas up, you wait until the dam things either barely working or not working at which point you need a full refill.

Damn and blast ! These Omega's are thirsty with everything  A total waste on the Omega then unless it just needs a top up

A single bottle wont do any car, there f-ing useless and to be honest, given the legislation on aircon recharging, should be banned.

These things can't tell you if there's a leak. Which could be the reason it's stopped working in the first place. In which case you may as well just empty the canister to atmosphere which is highly illegal.

So give the money to me instead.


Although you might prefer to give less money to an ac specialist capable of diagnosing the problem correctly. As said 900g of gas in the omega, with two ac fans. It's quite efficient on the omega, where new stuff gets barely 350 and on,y one fan. Its a good system, if looked after.

Penny wise pound foolish rarely works, especially not on an omega. Needs a proper job in most areas.

most places charge £40.00 for a regas, shop around locally might get it down to £35., and that will put the right amount of refrigerant, oil in and check for leaks,

Seen a seal replacement kit at Alfods , best get the valve changed and some new seals in before anything

Most AC places will check it free of charge, and will only charge you if the system is leak tight and you have functioning AC. 

So take it to an AC place and then you'll know if it's leaking and if so where from.   

Have you pressed the valve in? Does it hiss?

Mr EMD, there are things that Helfrods are good for... and there are things you buy from other places.

Aircon is something you get from other places

No hissing at all
