Air Con

[Beagh1958]

Just one for any interested parties, 90% of all air-con problems are caused by a lack of use of the air/con system. If not switched on every week for a good 10 minutes or so the sealing rings dry up & allow the refridgerant/oil mixture to escape = R134a in most cases. From memory a posting from Forum User some time back had an answer from Igormus to this effect, he's pretty well clued up on the a/c side of things. And that's what we see at work in the majority of cases, leaks.

Regards, Beagh.

mock all you like kwik fit

but at the end of the day if your a/c is no better ......no pay

will mr rip off T do /say the same ......I doubt it

[KPARRIS-JONES]

go to kwik fit

they promise you if the a/c doesn't work no charge

just go there and act daft and don't say anything about trying to have it done by Mr T

Hardly a specialist.... the only thing I trust them to do is remove wheels and even them it takes some consideration.

Get to an A/C specialist and pay a small charge to have it done properly by someone who knows what he is doing, instead of reading it out of a book they can barely read themselves.

But haven't you heard? "You can't get better than a Kwik-Fit fitter" ROFL!

I went to a AC specialist; he first topped up the system and never noticed it had a leak (Lots of AC oil around), I dried the oil took it back and he could not see the leak with his UV light, I found the leak with a mirror underneath, he fitted a new pipe and charged me again €100 for the top + fiting €405

ah well that's a shame. :( Sorry that you didn't get any service, the specialist near me is fantastic and does it very very cheaply.

I still don't trust Kwik-Fit, and never will, but everyone to their own. Your car, your choice.
