Took the Elite down to Kwik Fit today to get the air con regassed. Not the first place I would have thought to get it done, but a bloody good deal.
Full regas for £44.95 and if the recharge doesn't drop the coldest temperature by at least 10% then there's no charge.
Rang round locally and prices ranged from £84 from Vauxhall on their "Summer deal"...cheapest I could get was £71 and that wasn't until Monday. I can't praise Kwik Fit enough, friendly, fast and fitted me in at a moments notice, and I've got a fridge for a car now :)

thats a good deal, wish i had gone to kwik fit now, went to a local place here in northampton and it cost me £65 plus vat. :(
never mind i know next time. :y
-
I advised my neighbour not to go to Kwik Fit to have his aircon sorted.....he used a mobile guy i recomended instead.
Trouble is with Kwik Fit , altho a decent price, they dont test for leaks, they dont 'vac' out the system first, they dont add dye with the oil (not even sure they add oil!).
I rang and asked what they did for the £45.......
I hope it hasnt got a leak and stays working for you :y
-
10% - at least 28 degrees drop :o 8-)

Eh? yours runing at 280 degrees? Thats what I call global warming...

They vac'd it for 20 minutes before regassing. I knew it didn't have any leaks, had it checked this morning by my mates garage. That's why I went budget...I knew all it needed was a regas. Oh, and they did add oil....they added 950grams of gas and 25 cubic cm of oil.

Lets say it can get 20 centigrade 10% lower temperature is -9 centigrade.

Eh?
My maths makes it 18C...

20C is 293 absolute so 10% off is 264 absolute which is -9C.
You can't start anywhere but at absolute 0 otherwise it is not correct.
They should have said 2 degrees or something like that rather than leave themselves open to anyone who remembers their O level or A level physics, as I got a good grade at A level.

Only engineers work in K, and you cannot call TwitFit engineers. I think they would easily get away with it in court.

And what is wrong with K bring in percentages and you HAVE too - I can't understand Farenheight though

You would if you had a temp of 103 deg F ;D :y

Im am suprised, my local kwikfit, said they gassed it, i asked about the the other stuff, they said nope only gass added......but from the sounds of it your kwit fit did a proper job....tho it would have been nice if they had added dye.....in the case of future leaks :y

I had 105 once, apparently at 107 you are dead :o

They hook it up to an automated machine that does everything, which is why they didn't have a clue..
OK if you're sure it only needs a re-gas but hopeless if you've got another problem as where an air con specialist will be able to fault find, Thick Fit will shrug their shoulders and give you a refund. Or in my case, send you packing with no refund and let you extract it from them by snotty letters.
Which Kwik Fit branch was that at, out of interest, meegaveesix?
