Got the aircon done - by Kwikfit
Discussion
The aircon on the Octy has been getting less and less efficient for about a year (or two 
) now, so in the hope that we might have a summer 
I decided to get it looked at.
So I went to a "specialist" that had been recommended to me. "Hi, I need my aircon regassed" was my cheery opening line to him.
"Unlikely on a car less than 15 years old. You must have a fault" was the reply. "The compressor pulley has a habit of falling off on VW group cars. I'll have to run a diagnostic first which will be £40 plus VAT. Then there will be the cost of any parts and £40 plus VAT for regassing"
Now, I'm pretty certain that if the pulley on the aircon compressor had fallen off I'd have noticed so I made my excuses and left.......................and went to Kwikfit. Who connected the car to a machine, drained what was left of the refrigerant and oil, leak tested it and regassed it for £49.
I now have a cold car - thanks to Kwikfit. Never thought I'd ever recommend them!
