    Hi all I used a bit of gas that I had to see if there’s any leaks

    On vagcom the ref ridge pressure is 2 bar when cold and then goes to about 6 bar when turned on.

    The compressor shows it’s working but the fan speed only shows 10 percent and the car doesn’t get cold

    The low refrigerate code has gone but no air con

    I have tested the high speed fan and that does work

    The air con pipe shows in the green on an ez chill trigger but goes to about 10 psi when running

    The fan duty is variable according to gas pressure so get it filled to the correct weight.

    Thanks I only put some gas in to see if I have any other leaks before spending 60 quid

    If I recheck in a week and it’s around 2 bar I’ll get it done I know they do a pressure test anyway

    I do get some hissing through the vents with the air con on but I did read this May just be low pressure in the pipes that plausable

    Bloody hell how many people get there air con refilled and it lasts a few weeks

    I’ve had a full pressure test done before and the gas hasn’t lasted lol so is that my fault or the garage because they couldn’t tell me what was wrong

    I think if anyone got into trouble over it the exact interpretation of “deliberate” would be key.
