Help, I went to kwik fit for an aircon regas and service thingy for £45. They connected my car up( the car was cooling and had gas in it, but I was giving it a treat. They said it would take 45 mins. After it was 'done' they said my system had a leak and their machine wouldnt regas the system.....now I have a hot interior......
Any Ideas???????

Wow. I'd be fronting the counter to ask for my money back, or if you have more determination go to a licenced non-franchised specialist and get a full diagnosis with written report first.
I personally recommend aircon repairs for winter. It helps with the screen defrost and the service techs usually aren't so busy.

The gauges where according to the guys showing the right settings. And yes they are tyre fitters, I wondered if the car should be running with the aircon turned on for the refill? Halfords regas says you need the aircon on when using a refill.
But, If the system has been vacuumed out, wouldnt the vacuum go if there is a leak?
the guy phoned someone to override the system to put gas in, but it took 2 mins max, and no signs of movement in the sight glass. so I wondered if maybe their machine was either faulty, no gas, or maybe the filling port blocked?????

Ok Guys,
I had a local mobile Aircon specialist look at my cars aircon ae KwikFit not doing the job!!!!
He drained the system and nasty foam type stuff cam out. He hadnt a clue what KF had put in!!!!, He put some liquid in to clean the system out and then refilled it. Once checked he put some UV dye in it. Checked for leaks (there was non) and it also is greaan so I can see the gas/fluid in the spy hole.
£50 for the lot...........
Cool interior..........
Nice.........
