Hi,
Yup, it sounds like it's been overfilled. I would ask them to evac and check again what they put back in. It should only be about 900 to 950 grammes of refrigerant.

the correct info should be printed on a sticker in the engine bay. Have a look on the cover over the radiator. I think its on there somewhere. Also should be a sticker given by an a/c engineer if its had a die added to check for leaks, but this rarely happens . Its supposed to stop 2 lots being added as this can thin the oil and bugger the pump, or something. So my ac man told me.
Hope helps.

not sure on pressure, sounds like you need a more qualifyed ac man to me. He should know all this stuff, dont let him mess with it if he does not know what he is doing. It could cost you a fortune in the long run. Ignore the mills post i was refering to the amount of liquid or gas. Hopefully someone on here more knowing than me will be able to help you. Sorry cant help further.
