    Aircon regas

    Just rang a couple of places to get my 14a regassed, I told them I had it done last year and asked why it needed doing so soon, most said oh the age of the car it will probably need doing every yearns it’s obviously got a tiny leak

    Does that sound right to you guys

    Thanks

    Probably, it's not uncommon for older cars to leak. Any good Air con place can do a leak test for you, but it might be such a slow leak they can't pick it up (perished pipes and joints).

    I have my daily re-gassed every year, despite them saying it's not leaking it's always dead on the first hot day of the year.

    Could be leaking from any number of places, I assume the condenser is the same one it left the factory with 20 years ago??

    The UV leak dye isn't amazing, if the leak is in a hard to reach area there's little chance of spotting it.
