so you can actually recharge your own aircon now then? never realised that, i've always taken my cars to a air con garage who charged £40 to recharge! do you not need to completely discharge the system before you recharge it?


might look into this myself!

Yes you can. Even Halfords sell the gas now but its about £20 for a complete fill. And no you dont need to discharge the system

I wouldnt do it urself as you cant vacuum the system down, if you want the best out of your AC then u need to reclaim the gas in the system then vacuum the system for at least 20 mins to get any moisture out of the system then drain the AC oil and replace it then regass the system.

Im thinking of removing my AC system as i literally never use it and it just takes up power and adds weight. Does anyone know if i were to remove the AC pump and the idler would i be able to just fit a non AC belt?
