purple highline monster 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 they purge your system, replace the gas with "new" and spray a deoderaiser into all the air vents which kills bacteria and stops the smells, £100 is a decent price for an aircon re-gas and system check and clean Link to post Share on other sites
philbatesvr6 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 £100 you having a laugh !thats a bit steep mate we do it at work for £40 thats just for a regas and leak check,you can buy air con cleaners from halfords for a 5er alls you do is leave your car running with the aircon on then start the canister off and put it behind your front seats as this is where the air is fed fromtakes about 15mins Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 ^^ he said £100 at a dealers though, maybe he dont have the advantage of an aircon re gasser at his works place? or the time or inclanation or know how to carry the job out himself, thats the difference i suppose?

SankysVR6 1 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 If it's smelly i would try the de-oderiser cans form halfords first. As they are only about a £5 and if it fixes your problem its job done. If it stills smelly after this take it to the dealers. Link to post Share on other sites
