Where is? Xantia II HDi Aircon recharge point?

Post by sprout »

I'm either having sight issues or it is well hidden?

Anyone have a description or image :) of the location of the low pressure side top up point.

Thank you in advance =D>

Good old Citroen, that probably rules out a DIY kit :cry:

Went to KwikFit, they gave me no confidence whatsoever :No:

Used a Halfords Auto-centre, now ice cold :wiggle:

I knew my decision would affect the weather :rolleyes:

Why?
You mentioned that someone in front of you was given a refund because they had a leak but they booked online so had to get the refund online, was it just that or had you seen them scratching their heads trying to work out how the automatic machine switched on, or had they caused the leak?
