• Re-gassing Air con - Honda Accord 10 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  At the last service the Honda dealer told me that they could see a few bubbles in my 1996 Accord air con and that it needed regassed, cost around £65 plus VAT. I think they are probably right as it dooes feel a little less cool than previously. Does anyone know a good alternative place to go to get this done that may be cheaper?

• Air Conditioning 26 Aug 2003 (Forum)
  Have noticed that with the dash readout showing an outside temperature of 25c.the air con,(not full climate control) still copes well in suppling cold air,but the front windows mist up after a while to the extent that I had to open them to see out and to check the mirrors.I find this strange as the air con is great in clearing the insides of the windows at other times,any answers please?.
• Volvo V50 - Air conditioning 28 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  The local Volvo dealer has offered a free Air con inspection on my 08 V50 and suggested there might be an inherent fault.  The Air con is in fact not working and I had thought to go more locally to have it repressurised.  This seems to suggest that Volvo might be offering some financial assitance - anyone experience this?
• Citroen c5 1.6hdi - Citroen C5 Air Con Problems 25 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  I got this work done for £430 picked the car up on Thursday evening, everything was working okay and on Friday morning the car was parked in my rive and I heard a pop from the engine area and all the gas then escaped from the air con system. I returned to the garage and they checked it again and told me that the air con pump was producing too-much pressure and popped the hose again. They have now quoted me £700 for replacing the air con pump.
