Halfrauds Air con Recharge Kits

Hi All - has anyone tried this?

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=201507&categoryId=35126&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=35126&crumb=&varient=&CarSelectorCatalogId=&CarSelectorGroupId=

I couldnt find a reference to the type of gas and oil in the S1 Exige PDF manual but the instore info says most aircon after 1994??? uses this new type of refrigerant.

I thought it was worth a go for 40 notes?

Where’s my bargepole… I must go and lock it up safely.

For that price I’d go to a back street garage and haggle for cash, you could probably get it done properly for �50?

Cost me �80 last time at a main dealer to tell me it was OK with no leaks.

Lasted less than a week

Just fancied checking it out for misen rather than leaving it to monkeys again!



I’ll see if there is an aforementioned back street man who can help!

cheers

My dads garage does aircon recharges…but as I don’t have aircon in my Exige, or my awesome Berlingo van, I’ve never found out how much it costs.

LOL!

Seconded

A friend of mine recently purchased one of these Air con regas kits from Halfords for his BMW. It comes with a re useable pressure guage for the �40 and this is important so as not to overcharge the system. It worked a treat and is still working giving out ice cold A/C throughout this heatwave. Now his refil has run out he is left with a handy A/C testing guage, so handy infact that another friend borrowed this and bought the cheaper refil kit without the guage for a lot less money.


If it’s just a quick regas then buy the cheaper one without the guage, but it definitely works…

A simple mention of ‘backstreet’ and up he pops

Just checking the compatibility b4 I ‘invest’.

Got to be worth a mess.

I know, ever since I was rejected from the ‘Backstreet Boys’ for being too old, fat, bald, and talented, I’ve got a bit of a fixation. Is this healthy doctor?
