C5 Aircross A/C regassing

Unread post by GSMoore »

Hi,
I have a 2019 C5 Aircross PureTech 180 S&S Flair which is not cooling fresh air sufficiently when the A/C is operated. This vehicle is relatively new to me and has a low mileage of c. 5K and I suspect that the A/C has seldom if ever used, therefore, I think it needs re-gassing. I'm aware of the recommended intermittent use to lubricate the seals.
Does anyone know the gas type and filling quantity please as all the websites I've visited list numerous Citroen models but not the C5 Aircross ?
Thanks, Graham

Have you looked under the bonnet, there is usually a sticker with the refrigerant type and possibly quantity ? A car from 2019 is most likely to have R1234yf, our 2019 308 has this and I believe it is expensive so when you take it somewhere to be regassed it could be £100 to £200.

I would have a look around the air con system in case you have a leak, the front condenser is a likely place, we just had our 308 one replaced after noticing a slight oil leak on it but it was not bad enough to lose all the refrigerant so it still cooled a bit until replaced.
