Re: C5 Aircon
Yup, filling it up is just a temporary fix. You should have done a dye test done to identify where its leaking from.

Normally, the "quick and dirty" fix is a vac-down, however while this detects stuff like torn O-rings and corrosion holes, it doesn't often detect failing rubber hoses or shaft seals as it pulls the damage tight, sealing it again. The dye - if they added it - will reveal the leaks occurring under pressure (you can buy a cheap UV torch from Fleabay and find the spots yourself).
