Now the warmer weather is here, I think my air conditioning needs a regas. The pulley on the air con unit isn't engaging when I press the button, so I ought to try a regas first.

Is this something any place that advertises regases can do (eg Kwik Fit) or are there some specifications that need to followed?

Thanks!

Anywhere can do it. Kwik Fit are doing £45 and a 10% cooler guarantee at the moment.

Halfords do a DIY kit. I've used it on two cars and it was great.

I've wondered about these. Has anyone tried on a cerbera? Any photos of where to attach the refil hose to?

If it was just short on gas would the pump not still run, just not pump anything? Or is there something I don't know?

If the system is low on pressure then the pump won't engage.
