Air con regas

[pmessling]

I need to have my air con re-gassed having replaced my condenser last year. Can any one tell me how much oil and refrigerant is needed before i head out to get it done.

I thought it was 750g (?) of refrigerant and you would want a good 60ml of pag oil as the condenser was new. Before regassing you also would want a long vacuum to remove any moisture ingress that may have occurred before the condenser was changed...

i'll make sure i mention that tomorrow, got a mobile aircon bloke coming round tomorrow afternoon for £60.

After asking i managed to find some info on an old thread on here, that said between 750 and 1000,

thanks for the help

Be able to drive up to chatsworth now with the windows closed on the motorway.

But there will still be some residual oil in the compressor....a regas needs to add some extra to replace the oil lost with the old condenser...
