Air Con Specialist In Buckinghamshire?
Discussion
Hi, after buying an Audi A4 I realised the air con didn't work, took it to a Kwik Fit who recharged it and said there was no leak in their test. It leaked out within a month, took it back and they recharged it again and said there was no leak, claiming a loose valve.
It leaked out again within a month, however winter started so I didn't bother chasing it up.
Took it again to Kwik Fit recently to finally get this properly resolved, but turned out to be a mistake since guess what, they recharged it and told me there is no leak and it once again leaked out within a month.
Since the air con works fine for a month, I guess the critical components are all working properly so hope the leak shouldn't be too difficult to fix. I will probably be changing cars again in a years time so don't want to spend something crazy to get it fixed (probably willing to spend up to £300 if it can be fixed for that much).
Can anyone recommend a proper air con specialist in Buckinghamshire? I don't wanna end up taking it to a mechanic who just wants to recharge it for £60 and tell me there is no leak again.

I have an update!
So ended up taking the car to Mark 4 in Slough. Got them to do a regas with the UV dye. They advised coming back within a couple weeks.
Two weeks later the air con was working fine but I decided to pop down to get them to take a look as they said the leak would have definitely shown after 2 weeks. However, much to my disappointment there was no leak found. I was disappointed as I was certain I was going to have to make another trip to Mark 4 when it does leak out because Kwik Fit had regassed it 3 times prior and it had leaked out within a couple months.
However, now almost 3 months later it still has not leaked out yet. I am not sure if this is because of winter (I still use the air con regularly even with heating on). So I am wondering if it has somehow fixed itself, maybe the UV dye has sealed the leak? Or maybe it will still leak out later?
