I am afraid they won't fix your problem. The stop leak only swells dried out rubber seals and pipes and causes them to seal again. Even that is only temporary depending on how badly the rubber has dried out in the first place. As for a holed out condenser your only bet is either a new one or try the scrap yards for one from the same car as yours but a later model.

The gas refill bottle work well however but if you have stripped your system you will need a vacuum pump and a set of gauges to do the job right. Your best bet if you don't have the experience and most importantly the tools is just to fix what needs fixing and take it to Kwik Fit and pay the £45 for a re-gas.

You don't understand. You have to vacuum the system to get all the air and associated moisture out before you put in the gas. If you don't the moisture will simply corrode and destroy the internals including the compressor. What's more if there is air in there it is taking up space that could be taken up by gas.

The refill can's are fine for use on a non leaking system that just needs topping up. You are spending a lot of time and energy on this so why run the risk of revisiting it in the near future?
